Arakawa Propels Kingfishers to 13-8 Win | Yokohama and Hosho put this game in the books despite some rain.
The Yokohama Kingfishers powered past the Hosho Reliables, 13-8, at Nagoya Minami Stadium. Sukeyasu Arakawa was 3 for 5 with a home run, 2 singles, and a walk. He scored 3 times and drove in 2, to lead the charge. Fumimaro Yamauchi, who is tied for 10th in the EL with a 1.32 WHIP, was the winning pitcher. Over 6.2 innings, he allowed 7 runs on 9 hits, with 5 walks and 4 strikeouts. Picking up the save was Hirotsugu Sasaki, his 10th.
Yokohama relied on the hitting of Thoki Kaneshige to pick up the win. The right fielder ripped a 2-run single in the top of the fifth inning to put the Kingfishers on top, 6-2. For the game, Kaneshige had 1 triple and 1 single in 6 at-bats.
"Guys always talk about winning games because of the 'little things,'" Arakawa told the Yokohama Herald. "Call me old fashioned, but I think baseball is about the big things -- like scoring more runs."
The Kingfishers now own a record of 58-66. | |
