Rams Get Hard-Earned Win
The Rakisuta Rams reigned over the Hosho Reliables in damp conditions.

Hosho got a big-time effort from pitcher Shinki Kimura, but it wasn't enough to keep the Rakisuta Rams from winning the game, 5-4. Kimura threw 7.0 innings of 5-hit ball for the losing team. Sadato Hayakawa earned the win to go to 6-6. He allowed 4 runs on 8 hits, with 2 walks and 6 strikeouts in 8.1 innings of work. Zenichiro Tsuji recorded the save, his 1st.

Rakisuta used a clutch hit from Yui Ogawa to capture the win. The pinch hitter belted a 2-run home run in the top of the ninth inning to put the Rams up, 5-4. It was his lone hit in 1 at-bat, but it was well-timed.

"You can't take yourself too seriously," Ogawa told the Rakisuta News. "But at the end of the day, we do play to win ballgames."

The Rams are now 26-27, while the Reliables fall to 28-23.
