Shigenobu Nakayama came through for Rakisuta when he hit a 2-run single in the bottom of the seventh. With the bases loaded, he hit a two-strike changeup to left field, staking his team to a 4-2 lead.

"It was a real good effort by Kinya," said Rakisuta manager Kinzo Yoshimura. "I loved the way he bore down."
