Tokyo Yakult beat Hiroshima Toyo at Rebels Ballpark, eking out a 5-4 win. The win was due in large part to pitcher Fumio Okada, who earned player of the game honors. The Swallows, now 7-3, have been on a roll in the early going.

Enrique Castro had a big hit for Tokyo Yakult in the bottom of the fifth inning. With Tokyo Yakult leading 4-0, Castro hit a solo home run. It was his 3rd home run of the season and put the Swallows up, 5-0.

"Getting ahead of the hitters was the key," said Okada.
