Rams Score Late to Beat Owls, 4-3
The Rakisuta Rams scored a tight, 4-3 win versus the Kyoto Owls at Rakisuta Stadium. Rakisuta pitcher Shigeyoshi Taira held his own in the contest. The loss drops Kyoto to 4-4.

A defensive lapse proved costly in the contest. With the game tied in the bottom of the ninth, an error by the Owls allowed the Rams to score the winning run.

"The crowd was boisterous tonight," said Kamo.
