YT Gets 8-1 Win
The performance of Louis Okoye proved critical in helping YT beat HA, 8-1. The Swallows left fielder went 3 for 4 with a home run, 2 singles, and a walk, while adding 2 RBI and scoring once. YT has 5 straight wins, HA 3 straight losses.

YT used the hitting of Munetaka Murakami to pick up the win. The third baseman clubbed a 2-run home run in the top of the third inning to put the Swallows on top, 3-0. For the game, Murakami had 1 home run and 2 singles in 5 at-bats.

"We'll need a much better effort, the next time out," said losing manager Shigetoshi Hasegawa.
