Rams Win at Kobe, 10-2
Tokyo Rakisuta left fielder Takao Matsumoto contributed to his team's 10-2 win over the Kobe Bulls. Matsumoto, who finished 2nd in the JBA in OPS with .853 in 1946, went 4 for 5 with 1 run scored to lead the offensive attack for the Rams. The win gives Tokyo Rakisuta a record of 6-3.

It could have been a different outcome for Tokyo Rakisuta, had it not been for Eita Yoshioka, the 35-year old shortstop . Yoshioka contributed a run-scoring single in the top of the seventh inning to put Tokyo Rakisuta up, 3-2.

"Win or lose, we pick each other up in this clubhouse," Yoshioka told the Tokyo Rakisuta Daily News.
