Rams Win Thriller, 1-0
The Rakisuta Rams received a superlative performance from starting pitcher Morihiro Arakaki, allowing them to bump off the Hosho Reliables, 1-0. Rakisuta's record now stands at 44-46, placing them 5th in the Eastern League.

The clutch at-bat came in the bottom of the ninth inning, when Rakisuta pinch hitter Shinji Fukuda, facing Kinichi Ota, had a run-scoring sacrifice fly. It gave the Rams the 1-0 win.

"What a great game, great atmosphere," Fukuda said.
