Bears Lose, 7-6, as Rams Rally
Rakisuta shortstop Hideharu Nomura helped his team beat the Sapporo Bears, 7-6. Nomura, who finished 4th in the EL in RBI with 71 in 1970, went 1 for 3 for the Rams. The 4th-place Rams go to 56-62.

Rakisuta used a well-timed hit by Kuranosuke Imakake to capture the win. The catcher socked a bases-clearing double in the top of the fifth inning to put the Rams ahead, 6-5. Though it was his only hit in 4 at-bats, it was important.

"It was a nice win for our side today," said Rams manager Kinzo Yoshimura. "Not perfect, but we'll take it."
