Yamashita Leads Owls to 7-2 Win Over Rams
Riding the 2-hit performance of the former first round draft pick Hiroshi Yamashita, the Kyoto Owls stopped the Rakisuta Rams, 7-2, in 9 innings. Norikazu Takai, the winner, goes to 10-12. He allowed 2 runs on 7 hits, with 1 walk and 2 strikeouts over 9 innings. Kyoto raised its record to 72-58 with the win.

Kyoto took a 6-1 lead on Yamashita's 28th home run of the season. The grand slam home run, which he hit off Juro Esaki in the top of the eighth, propelled Kyoto to the win.

"Things didn't bounce our way," said Rakisuta skipper Kinzo Yoshimura.
