Okada Fires Shutout in Owls Victory
In an excellent mound performance, Kento Okada of the Kyoto Owls blanked the Hosho Reliables, 13-0, on a 3-hitter.

"I had my best stuff and did a good job of mixing up my pitches," he said after the game.

In all, the Kyoto hurler rang up 10 strikeouts and 1 walk in the shutout win.

"We just didn't swing the bats well today," said Reliables manager Shun Kawamura. "Okada did a good job keeping us guessing."

To date this season, Okada has a record of 8 wins and 9 losses and a 3.14 ERA. He has appeared in 24 games and struck out 118 in 166.1 innings.
