Arakaki Holds Bears Scoreless
Morihiro Arakaki was sneaky fast, on the mark, and hard to hit. He led the Rakisuta Rams to victory, 6-0, blanking the Sapporo Bears on 5 hits. He had no walks and 5 strikeouts.

"You know what he's going to throw. You know what to expect. And you still can't hit it," Sapporo skipper Earl Higgins told reporters after the shutout loss. "He just had a real deceptive fastball today and he was throwing it for strikes."

In 22 starts this year, Arakaki has fashioned a 12-6 record and a 3.24 ERA.
