Rams Notch 4-1 Win Versus Kingfishers
The Rakisuta Rams defeated the Yokohama Kingfishers, 4-1, in Eastern League action at Rakisuta Stadium. Rakisuta pitcher Morihiro Arakaki had a standout performance. In 7 innings, Arakaki surrendered 5 hits, while striking out 5 and walking 2. He allowed 1 run. Zenichiro Tsuji closed the game out for Rakisuta, earning his 7th save.

Kihachi Harada's at-bat in the bottom of the sixth was significant, coming with runners on 1st and 2nd and the game tied, 1-1. The Rakisuta third baseman hit a run-scoring single off Fumimaro Yamauchi to put the Rams up.

"We made a couple of mistakes," said Yokohama skipper Tommy McDonell, "and it cost us."

Rakisuta is now 38-33.
