| Owls Beaten, 2-1, by Rakisuta | Starting pitcher Kinichi Harada was a major factor in the 2-1 Rakisuta Rams triumph over the Kyoto Owls. Sadato Hayakawa earned the save for Rakisuta, his 5th of the year. The Rams move to 15-18 with the win, while the Owls drop to 21-12.
With scoring opportunities rare, the Rams had to cash in when they had the chance. One such opportunity presented itself in the bottom of the first, when shortstop Hideharu Nomura hit a 2-run single. The single came off Takamitsu Fujiwara and made the score 2-0, Rams. Nomura went 1-4. He drove in 2 runs.
"The object of the game is to score more runs than they do," said Nomura. "Mission accomplished." | |
