Good production from first baseman Toyohiro Wada helped the Kyoto Owls topple the Rakisuta Rams, 8-3. Wada was 3 for 5 with a home run and 2 singles, while scoring 2 and driving in 4 for the Owls. The winning pitcher was Ukita Tomita. He's now 11-7. He went 9 innings, allowing 3 runs on 9 hits for the Owls. The loss makes Rakisuta 52-57.

With Kyoto leading 4-3 in the bottom of the sixth, Wada batted against Rakisuta pitcher Gunji Matsuda. Wada hit a fastball to left for a grand slam home run. His 26th home run of the season put the Owls on top, 8-3.

"We take it day by day here," said Wada, "and today was a good one for us."
