The Tokyo Yakult Swallows racked up a win at Ballpark of Yamagata College, bumping off the Yomiuri Giants, 5-4. Fumio Okada, who started for Tokyo Yakult, pitched effectively for his team. Lee Lee recorded his 3rd save for Tokyo Yakult. Tokyo Yakult, now 3-1, has played well in the early going.

Yukiharu Shimada had a productive at-bat for the Swallows with no one out in the top of the ninth. With the bases loaded, the right fielder hit a run-scoring single. The at-bat was important in the Tokyo Yakult win.

"Nice to put this one in the win column," said Okada.
