Kuma Collect 8-6 Win Over Katanakaji
Despite a great performance by Seki right fielder Ryo Hirayama, the Kumamoto Kuma defeated the Katanakaji by the score of 8-6 at Katanakaji Stadium. Hirayama was 4 for 7 with 4 singles. Ben Lowe, now 1-0, picked up the win in relief. He allowed no runs on 5 hits in 4.1 innings. Picking up his 1st save was fireballing left-hander Harry Kane.

Kumamoto used the clutch hitting of Flavio Villalobos to snag the win. The right fielder drilled a 2-run home run in the top of the 12th inning to put the Kuma ahead, 8-6. It was his lone hit in 6 at-bats, but it was a crucial one.

Villalobos said afterward that he hoped the win would galvanize the team.

The Kuma are off to an underwhelming start as they look to defend their championship, notching only their 7th win in 16 games.
