Rams Drop Reliables, 4-3 | Rakisuta and Hosho put this game in the books despite some rain.
The Rakisuta Rams did just enough to sneak past the Hosho Reliables, 4-3, at Nagoya Minami Stadium. Rakisuta pitcher Kisaku Arita, in particular, had a standout performance. Rakisuta has now won 3 in a row.
Sukeichi Onodera, who led the EL in doubles with 41 in 1961, had a direct impact on the outcome. Onodera contributed a run-scoring sacrifice fly in the top of the seventh inning to put Rakisuta up, 4-2.
Rakisuta manager Bob Lester said his team played a "no nonsense" game. | |
