Komatsu at His Best, Whips Rams
Sapporo hurler Arata Komatsu put on quite a show, as he blitzed the Rakisuta Rams with a 1-0 shutout. He baffled them with fastballs and changeups, allowing 1 hit with 10 strikeouts and 1 walk to pick up the win.

"I think every time we were looking for a fastball, he threw a changeup and every time we were looking for a changeup, he threw a fastball," Rakisuta manager Bob Lester told reporters after the game.

This year, Komatsu has compiled a 5-3 record with a 2.01 ERA.
