Swallows Flatten Tigers, 9-1
Meiji Jingu Stadium was the site for Central League action featuring the HA Tigers and YT Swallows.

Munetaka Murakami left his imprint on the 9-1 YT win against the HA Tigers. Murakami, who led the JCL in extra base hits with 63 last year, was 2-3 with a home run, a triple, and a walk. He scored 2 times and drove in 3. The win gives YT a record of 3-3.

YT grabbed the momentum in the bottom of the fifth, when Murakami hit a 3-run home run off Yuki Nishi. His 1st home run of the season put the Swallows out in front, 4-1.

"We took it on the chin tonight," said losing manager Shigetoshi Hasegawa.
