Sapporo Absorbs 4-2 Loss to Rakisuta
Rakisuta picked up a win at Sapporo Stadium, bumping off the Sapporo Bears, 4-2. Pitcher Kinya Wada was a major reason the Rams emerged victorious. Wada got the win, improving to 5-3. He gave up 6 hits and walked 2 over 7.1 innings. He allowed 2 runs. Gunji Matsuda stitched up the save, his 7th.

Rakisuta used a well-timed hit by Hideharu Nomura to capture the win. The shortstop socked a run-scoring double in the top of the third inning to put the Rams ahead, 1-0. Though it was his only hit in 3 at-bats, it was important.

After the game, Rakisuta manager Kinzo Yoshimura applauded the team's effort. "They busted their tails out there," he said.

The Rams sit in second place in the Eastern League with a record of 22-19.
