Soggy conditions did not keep Rakisuta and Sapporo from playing their scheduled game.

The Rakisuta Rams grabbed a win, 7-3, over the Sapporo Bears at Rakisuta Stadium. Rakisuta right fielder Fuminobu Sato went 2 for 5 with a home run. He scored 2 times and drove in 3. Rakisuta starter Sadato Hayakawa was credited with the win after throwing 94 pitches over 6 innings. His record now stands at 5-8.

Sato contributed a big hit, a 3-run home run, for Rakisuta in the bottom of the fourth. With his team trailing 3-2, Sato took a splitter from Mario de los Santos and stroked the home run to left. His 7th home run of the season allowed the Rams to leap in front, 5-3.

"You can't get too high when things go well, or too low when things go bad. Right now, I'm just happy we got the win," Sato told the Rakisuta News.

The 5th-place Rams have a record of 31-39.
