| Rakisuta Topples Kyoto, 3-1 | In a low-scoring tilt between the Rakisuta Rams and the Kyoto Owls, Kinichi Harada, who finished 4th in the EL in ERA with 2.39 in 1968, was the difference-maker. The Rakisuta right-hander spearheaded the 3-1 win. Yoshimatsu Shiina was credited with the save. He has now successfully converted 4 of 5 save opportunities. Today's win puts Rakisuta at 48-51, while Kyoto falls to 53-46.
The Rams got a big boost from catcher Kuranosuke Imakake who had a run-scoring ground out in the bottom of the first inning off Owls hurler Ukita Tomita. It was his 44th RBI of the season and put Rakisuta on top, 1-0.
"It was just a matter of executing," said Rakisuta manager Kinzo Yoshimura. | |
