Rams Spoil Great Performance by Hamasaki
The Hosho Reliables and Rakisuta Rams met at Nagoya Minami Stadium to settle a score.

The Rakisuta Rams withstood an impressive performance by Hosho center fielder Kikaku Hamasaki to defeat the Reliables, 12-6, at Nagoya Minami Stadium. Hamasaki was 4-5 with a home run and 3 singles. He scored 3 times and drove in 2. The Rams are now 42-36, while the Reliables fall to 43-38.

In the top of the eighth, Rakisuta got a clutch hit from Shunsuke Suzuki. The catcher belted a 2-run home run, putting the Rams up, 5-4. It was his lone hit in 1 at-bat, but it was a decisive one.

"We'll kick back tonight and enjoy this win," said Suzuki.
