Clutch Hitting Delivers Win for Rams
The 7-6 Rakisuta win over Kyoto was due largely to Kuranosuke Imakake. The Rams catcher was 2 for 3 with a home run. He drove in 3 runs and scored once. Sadatake Suzuki snagged the win in relief. He goes to 3-0 on the season. Ukita Tomita suffered the loss. The Rams improved to 36-41.

Imakake had a game-changing home run in the top of the eighth. On a first pitch cutter from Ukita Tomita, he banged a 3-run home run to left, giving the Rams a 7-6 lead. It was the 4th home run of the year for Imakake.

"I just love going out and having a big game," Imakake said. "The limelight's never bothered me."
