Rams Rally to Win
Well, that's how to end a game in style.

The Rakisuta Rams banked on Shigeyoshi Taira and he turned in a masterful performance. The right-hander kept the Sapporo hitters in check. The final score was 2-1, Rams, in 12 innings. After today's action, Rakisuta sits at 33-38; Sapporo slips to 28-43.

The clutch at-bat came in the bottom of the 12th inning, when Rakisuta first baseman Shunsuke Murata, facing Katsukuni Yamada, had a run-scoring sacrifice fly. It gave the Rams the 2-1 win.

"That was a good baseball game," said Taira.
