In baseball, each game is unique. This one was no different.

Morihiro Arakaki, who finished 4th in the EL in strikeouts with 114 in 1954, propelled his team to victory over the Sapporo Bears. The final score was 8-3, Rakisuta. Arakaki, now 14-6, was the winner. In 7 innings, he gave up 7 hits, while striking out 3, walking 2, and allowing 1 run.

Seisaku Nishimura had a key at-bat with one out in the top of the seventh for Rakisuta. With the bases loaded and the Rams leading 2-1, he drew a walk, driving in 1 run.

"At the end of the day, wins and losses are really the only thing that matters," said Arakaki.

Rakisuta has a record of 55-48, placing them third in the Eastern League.
