Hayakawa Pitches 4-0 Shutout for Rakisuta | The Sapporo Bears had no answer for Rakisuta Rams pitcher Sadato Hayakawa. They failed to score a single run against him, losing, 4-0. Sapporo managed only 3 hits off Hayakawa, who had 10 strikeouts.
The extraordinarily popular Hayakawa got a standing ovation from the hometown crowd as he left the field, the applause continuing until he returned from the dugout to tip his cap to the crowd.
"Rams fans are the best fans, in my opinion," he said. "It's a great feeling to throw a shutout under any circumstances, but to do it with the crowd behind you like that is just incredible."
To date, Hayakawa has a 5-3 mark in 16 starts with a 2.81 ERA. He has given up 98 hits in 118.1 innings, struck out 103 and issued 31 walks. Opposing clubs have compiled a .221 batting average against him. | |
