Rams Win at Hosho, 3-2
The Rakisuta Rams did just enough to sneak past the Hosho Reliables, 3-2, at Nagoya Minami Stadium. Rakisuta pitcher Morihiro Arakaki, in particular, had a standout performance. The winner was Arakaki. He threw 7.0 innings allowing 2 runs. The loser was Takamichi Smith. Hosho, with the loss, is still a hardy 5-2.

The biggest at-bat came in the bottom of the ninth. The score was 3-2, Rams. With runners on 1st and 3rd and two down, Soseki Tanabe retired Hiroshi Ishikawa with a 0-1 slider. Ishikawa, who led the EL in stolen bases with 14 in 1951, grounded out.
