Owls Hand Rakisuta 5-1 Loss
The Kyoto Owls got a marvelous performance from pitcher Yukiharu Goto. The right-hander kept the Rakisuta offense from ever getting much traction. The result was an impressive 5-1 Kyoto victory at Owls Park. Kyoto has 3 straight wins, Rakisuta 3 straight losses.

Kinmochi Yamamoto had a big run-scoring double for the Owls in the bottom of the fourth inning. With Kyoto leading 2-1 and runners on 1st and 2nd, he got a screwball from Morihiro Arakaki, who is tied for 10th in the EL with a 6.6 K/9 rate, and swatted a double to center. It was his 10th double of the season, and more importantly, it put the Owls ahead, 3-1.

"This game will punch you right in the mouth," said Goto. "My job is to show up and give my team a chance."
