Rams 8-5 Victors Over Hosho
Rakisuta Rams starter Yoshimatsu Shiina pitched a strong game against the Hosho Reliables at Rakisuta Stadium, leading the Rams to victory, 8-5. Shiina picked up the win for Rakisuta, going 7 innings. He gave up 2 runs on 6 hits. He now sports a record of 3-2. The win puts Rakisuta at 8-15.

Hideharu Nomura had a big 2-run double for the Rams in the bottom of the first inning. With Rakisuta trailing 1-0 and the bases loaded, he got a changeup from 23-year old right-handed pitcher Naruto Noda and swatted a double to center. It was his 2nd double of the season, and more importantly, it put the Rams ahead, 2-1.

"Yoshimatsu was the difference maker. He was emotionally under control, had good stuff and makeup," said Rakisuta manager Kinzo Yoshimura.
