Rams, Kamo Blast Bears, 12-2
Not everyone stuck through the 32-minute rain delay, but those who did went home happy.

The Rakisuta Rams had no problem beating the Sapporo Bears, 12-2, at Rakisuta Stadium. Seisuke Kamo, who finished 5th in the EL in triples with 8 in 1959, led the onslaught. He was 3-5 with a double and 2 singles, while scoring 2 runs and driving in 5 for Rakisuta. Kinya Wada, credited with the win, is now 3-2. He allowed 2 runs on 12 hits in 9 innings.

With Rakisuta leading 1-0 in the bottom of the first, Kamo hit a 2-run single off Sapporo hurler Yamada Yamanaka. It was the 25th hit of the season for Kamo and put his team ahead, 3-0.

"Not much went right for us," Sapporo manager Ritsuo Yoshida said, when asked afterward about the game.

The Bears fall to 12-16 and continue their lackluster start to the 1975 season.
