Swallows Win at Hanshin, 7-3
Tokyo Yakult pitcher Fumio Okada did his part in helping his team beat the Hanshin Tigers, 7-3. The right-hander kept opposing batters in check throughout the game. The Swallows improved to 13-9.

It could have been a different outcome for Tokyo Yakult, had it not been for Ling-lai Zhu, the 23-year old first baseman . Zhu contributed a 2-run home run in the top of the second inning to put Tokyo Yakult up, 3-0.

"I still think this team has room for improvement," Okada told the Tokyo Yakult Herald.
