Giants Victorious at YDNA, 7-5
The YO Giants defeated the YDNA BayStars, 7-5, at Yokohama Stadium. Leading the charge for YO was third baseman Kazuma Okamoto. He was 3 for 4 with 3 singles, while adding 2 RBI and scoring once. YO pitcher Masao Hatakeyama got the win, upping his record to 6-2. Ren Kazahari got the loss. The Central League-leading Giants have a record of 51-30.

YO used the timely hitting of Akihiro Wakabayashi to seize the win. The pinch hitter stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the ninth inning to put the Giants on top, 6-5. It was his only hit in 1 at-bat, but it was a game-changer.

"I'm just looking to see the ball, hit the ball," said Okamoto.
