Rakisuta Tops Hosho, 6-3 | Rakisuta left-hander Masakado Matsuda pitched his team to victory over the Hosho Reliables at Nagoya Minami Stadium. The final score was 6-3. Kiyoshige Abe nailed down his 4th save. The loss makes Hosho 12-11.
Rakisuta used the timely hitting of Kihachi Harada to seize the win. The third baseman stroked a 2-run single in the top of the ninth inning to put the Rams on top, 6-3. It was his only hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.
"There's never a lack of effort in our clubhouse. We're willing to do the little things to get the win," Matsuda told the Rakisuta News. | |
