Swallows Fall to .500 After Loss to Dragons
Chunichi center fielder Ramakant Kanitkar made his presence felt in the 8-5 Dragons triumph over the Tokyo Yakult Swallows. Kanitkar was 3-5 with 2 doubles. He scored 2 times and drove in 4. The win was credited to Yukio Seki in relief. His record improves to 3-2. Bill Zimmer took the loss. Chunichi has now won 5 straight.

Kanitkar had no bigger at-bat than in the bottom of the sixth when the 22-year old center fielder hit a 2-run double. The double gave Chunichi the lead, 6-5. It was his 15th double of the season.

"We'll grab a cold one tonight and go after another win tomorrow," Kanitkar said.
