Kingfishers Win at Denki, 4-2
The Yokohama Kingfishers picked up a win at Kanda Stadium, knocking off the Denki Dynamics, 4-2. Starting pitcher Fumimaro Yamauchi played a key role in the triumph. Yamauchi yielded 2 runs over 8 innings to notch the win. He scattered 4 hits, walked 2, and struck out 5. His record improves to 12-4. Toshinori Osada got the save, his 23rd in 35 chances.

Yokohama used the hitting of Yonekichi Okazaki to pick up the win. The first baseman clubbed a 3-run home run in the top of the first inning to put the Kingfishers on top, 3-0. For the game, Okazaki had 1 home run and 1 single in 3 at-bats.

Yamauchi called the win a testament to his team's "tenacity."

This win makes it 5 in a row for Yokohama.
