Rams Beat Owls, 7-6
The Rakisuta Rams trumped the Kyoto Owls, 7-6, at Rakisuta Stadium. Rakisuta shortstop Hideharu Nomura was terrific. He went 1-1 with a home run and 2 walks. He drove in 2 runs and scored once. Sadato Hayakawa sewed up the save, his 9th. The 4th-place Rams lifted their record to 28-34.

Go Yagi's at-bat in the bottom of the seventh was significant, coming with runners on 1st and 2nd and the game tied, 6-6. The Rakisuta left fielder hit a run-scoring single off Seishiro Kikuchi to put the Rams up.

Yagi told a Rakisuta Daily News reporter that he was "very happy" with the win.
