| Rams Edge Hosho in Pitching Duel | The Rakisuta Rams got a magnificent performance from pitcher Shigeyoshi Taira, who muffled the Hosho offense en route to a tight, 1-0 Rams win at Nagoya Minami Stadium. In 7 innings, Taira surrendered 3 hits, while striking out 2 and walking 0. He allowed no runs. The losses continue to pile up for Hosho, which has now fallen 9 times in a row.
The Rams got a big at-bat from left fielder Go Yagi. For the game, Yagi was 1-4 with a home run. In the top of the sixth, with the bases empty, he stroked a solo home run. His 9th home run of the season gave Rakisuta a 1-0 lead.
"Some games build character," said Rakisuta manager Kinzo Yoshimura. "Like this one." | |
