Kingfishers Score Late, Clip Rams, 5-4
Rakisuta wasted an exceptional performance by pitcher Shigeyoshi Taira, falling to the Yokohama Kingfishers, 5-4. Taira threw 7.0 innings of 4-hit ball for the losing team. Yokohama reliever Kiyoji Nakamura snagged the win, upping his record to 12-11. Sadatake Suzuki shouldered the loss. The last-place Kingfishers now sit at 52-79.

Batting in the bottom of the 17th, 26-year old second baseman Kazuomi Hirata had a real shot to win the game. Rakisuta pitcher Sadatake Suzuki was determined not to let it happen. But with one out, Hirata hit a run-scoring single. The Kingfishers had a walk-off triumph.

"One win at a time, one game at a time. We try not to get too far ahead of ourselves," Hirata told the Yokohama Times.
