Hirata Excels, But Rams Win
The Rakisuta Rams overcame a good performance by Hosho shortstop Yamahiko Hirata to knock off Hosho, 7-6, at Rakisuta Stadium. Hirata went 4 for 5 with a home run, a double, and 2 singles. He scored 3 times and drove in 3. The winning pitcher was 24-year old left-handed pitcher Kisaku Arita. He tossed 89 pitches over 6.2 innings, allowing 5 runs on 12 hits. Kiyoshige Abe nailed down his 2nd save.

Rakisuta took advantage of an error in the bottom of the sixth inning. The game was tied, 3-3, when Pat Ponder hit a 2-run single that was misplayed. It put the Rams in front, 5-3.

"We'll relax tonight and get back after it tomorrow," Ponder said after the game.

The win puts Rakisuta at 26-19 this season.
