Rams Raise Rally Flag, Beat Kyoto, 4-1
The game between Rakisuta and Kyoto is in the books, despite a little rain.

The Rakisuta Rams picked up a win at Rakisuta Stadium, taking down the Kyoto Owls, 4-1. Starting pitcher Masakado Matsuda was a big reason why. Rakisuta reliever Kuranosuke Takashima picked up the win, while Naizen Sano took the loss for Kyoto.

The game was at a stalemate until second baseman Takanori Matsui came to bat in the bottom of the eighth. Facing Kyoto pitcher Naizen Sano, he hit a 1-0 splitter for a run-scoring single. It was a game-changer, putting Rakisuta on top, 2-1.

Matsui called the win "a lesson in teamwork."

Kyoto has now lost 5 in a row.
