The Rakisuta Rams rode a solid performance from 30-year-old starting pitcher Morihiro Arakaki to a win, beating the Sapporo Bears, 5-2, at Sapporo Stadium. In 9 innings, Arakaki surrendered 7 hits, while striking out 8 and walking 1. He allowed 2 runs. The 5th-place Rams have a record of 26-31.

Rakisuta took the lead, 4-1, on Kannon Yamamoto's 1st home run of the season. The 2-run home run came off Sapporo pitcher Mario de los Santos in the top of the seventh.

"Morihiro is tough to beat when he's hitting his spots," said Rakisuta manager Bob Lester.
