No one was more impactful than Ryuunosuke Okamoto in the 11-3 Kinboshi win over Vesutan. Okamoto, who finished 5th in the WL in home runs with 16 in 1968, was 2-3 with a home run and 2 walks. He scored 2 times and drove in 2. Kinboshi pitcher Saimei Hayashida got the win, upping his record to 7-6. Niou Nagao got the loss. Kinboshi, at 45-38, occupies third place in the Western League.

Yamahiko Hirata, who finished 2nd in the EL in batting average with .318 in 1962, chipped in a 2-run home run for Kinboshi in the top of the second. For the game, the shortstop had 2 hits in 5 at-bats with 1 home run, 1 single, 1 run scored, and 3 RBI.

"I'm just trying to make good contact," said Hirata, "one at-bat at a time."
