Rakisuta Tacks 5-2 Loss on Kyoto
Shigeyoshi Taira, who finished 4th in the EL in saves with 15 in 1971, had a strong outing for the Rakisuta Rams against the Kyoto Owls at Owls Park. The right-hander was a big part of his team's 5-2 win. Taira picked up the win for Rakisuta, going 8 innings. He gave up 2 runs on 10 hits. He now sports a record of 7-6. Yoshimatsu Shiina earned the save, his 2nd.

Rakisuta used the hitting of Shouta Fukushima to pick up the win. The third baseman clubbed a 3-run home run in the top of the third inning to put the Rams on top, 4-0. For the game, Fukushima had 1 home run and 1 single in 5 at-bats.

"Just glad I could help us get a win," said Taira.

The defeat makes Kyoto 45-39.
