Tight Tilt Goes to Rams, 3-2 | The Rakisuta Rams picked up a win at Rakisuta Stadium, downing the Hosho Reliables, 3-2. On the mound for Rakisuta was left-hander Sadato Hayakawa, who played a pivotal role in the win. The third-place Reliables have lost 4 consecutive games.
Rakisuta first baseman Gou Kawamoto contributed a timely at-bat in the bottom of the fifth. With two down, he hit a fastball to right field for a 2-run single. It was his 40th hit of the season and put the Rams ahead, 3-1.
"That's how you're going to be successful," said Rams manager Bob Lester. "It starts with pitching and it will always be pitching." | |
