YO first baseman Takumi Kitamura contributed significantly to his team's 9-4 win over the HA Tigers. Kitamura went 3 for 4 with 2 runs scored to lead the offensive attack for the Giants. The Giants have an impressive 49-30 record.

YO got a big at-bat from Okayama, Japan native Keita Sano, who in the bottom of the second hit a 2-run double. It was his 12th double of the season and put the Giants ahead, 6-0.

"Anytime you're seeing it well, it's a good feeling," Kitamura told the YO Daily.
