Swallows Hand Bay Stars 13-2 Beat-Down
The 2044 season is getting ugly for Yokohama.

Tokyo Yakult starter Bobby Luther pitched effectively against the Yokohama Bay Stars at Cuckoos Stadium. The right-hander led his team to a 13-2 win. Luther got the win, improving to 4-2. He allowed 6 hits and walked 3 over 8 innings. Luther allowed 2 earned runs.

The result might have been different for Tokyo Yakult, had it not been for Ling-lai Zhu. The right fielder produced a run-scoring single in the top of the fourth inning to put the Swallows ahead, 2-0. For the game, Zhu had 1 double and 2 singles in 4 at-bats.

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

This win makes it 5 in a row for Tokyo Yakult.
