Big Day for Matsui as Owls Down Reliables, 6-2
Takanori Matsui made an impact in the 6-2 Kyoto win over Hosho. Matsui, who finished 2nd in the EL in stolen bases with 15 in 1957, went 3-3 with a home run, 2 singles, and 2 walks, while scoring 2 times and driving in 2. The setback makes Hosho 66-57.

Kyoto used a clutch hit from Yutaka Yoshida to capture the win. The first baseman belted a 3-run home run in the top of the seventh inning to put the Owls up, 4-2. It was his lone hit in 4 at-bats, but it was well-timed.

"We didn't play well enough to win," Hosho skipper Shun Kawamura said.
