Owls Rally to Nose Past Rakisuta
Koto Seki knocked in 3 runs to help Kyoto beat Rakisuta, 9-8. Seki produced 1 single and 1 home run. Kentarou Takenaka was the winner in relief. His record is now 2-3. The losing pitcher was Kuranosuke Takashima. Naizen Sano earned the save, his 14th in 20 tries.

The game was at a stalemate until shortstop Bungo Arai came to bat in the bottom of the eighth. Facing Rakisuta pitcher Kuranosuke Takashima, he hit a first pitch circle change for a run-scoring single. It was a game-changer, putting Kyoto on top, 9-8.

"Nothing is scripted in this game," said Arai.

With the win, the Owls sit at 55-51.
