The Owls faced a stiff challenge from Rakisuta pitcher Masakado Matsuda, but persevered to claim a win at Owls Park. The final score was 2-1. Matsuda went 7 innings and allowed 1 run. The Owls bumped their record to 65-65 with this win.

The climactic moment came in the bottom of the ninth for Kyoto. That's when Naonobu Nishio, who is tied for 9th in the EL in total bases with 221, hit a run-scoring double off Genya Ishii to win the game. The home crowd erupted in celebration.

When asked about his performance after the game, Nishio said: "Like everyone else, I'm just doing my job."
