The Rams got an important contribution from right fielder Seisuke Kamo, who in the bottom of the fourth hit a 1-0 slider to center for a 2-run double. It was his 13th double of the season and put the Rams ahead, 3-0.
"There's a lot in this game you can't control. Just take what the game gives you. I was just doing my best to help the team win," Kamo told the Rakisuta Daily News.
