Kyoto Shuts Out Rakisuta, 9-0 | Seishiro Kikuchi hurled a fine game for the Kyoto Owls at Owls Park, holding the Rakisuta Rams to 3 hits in a shutout win.
"When he started out, his command wasn't that good, but he's a tough guy," Kyoto manager Takejiro Yonemura said. "The more pitches he throws, the better his command is."
The right-hander had 6 strikeouts and 4 walks in the 9-0 victory.
"An outstanding job," Rakisuta manager Bob Lester said. "We couldn't get anything going. Every time we got a hit, he got out of the jam. He pitched a terrific game."
On the year, Kikuchi has compiled a 10-6 mark with a 4.13 ERA. | |
