Yokohama Nets 2-1 Win Versus Rams
Starting pitcher Shigeyasu Hirayama did his part in helping the Yokohama Kingfishers thwart the Rakisuta Rams, 2-1. Hirotsugu Sasaki closed it out for Yokohama, earning his 8th save. Yokohama leads the Eastern League by 4½ games.

Yonekichi Okazaki, who finished 3rd in the EL in wins above replacement with 6.0 last year, had a direct impact on the outcome. Okazaki contributed a run-scoring walk in the top of the eighth inning to put Yokohama up, 2-1.

Yokohama manager Tommy McDonell called it "a good, solid win."
