Rams Rally For Late Win Over Kingfishers
Starting pitcher Kisaku Arita was a major factor in the 4-2 Rakisuta Rams triumph over the Yokohama Kingfishers. Kiyoshige Abe, who is tied for 9th in the EL in holds with 2, earned the win in relief. The left-hander allowed no runs on 2 hits in 2 innings. He upped his record to 2-1. Rakisuta has now won 4 games in a row.

Rakisuta used the timely hitting of Pat Ponder to seize the win. The second baseman stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the ninth inning to put the Rams on top, 3-2. It was his only hit in 1 at-bat, but it was a game-changer.

"I like our mindset right now," said Rakisuta manager Bob Lester.
