Giants Beaten By Swallows, 4-2
The YO Giants went down to defeat to Wataru Karashima and his YT teammates. The final score was 4-2, in favor of the Swallows. YT goes to 12-15.

YT used a clutch at-bat from Kevin Cron to capture the win. The first baseman hammered a 3-run home run in the top of the sixth inning to put the Swallows ahead, 4-2. It was his lone hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a humdinger.

Karashima called the win a testament to his team's "tenacity."
