Yagi, Rams Beat Owls, 6-2
The Rakisuta Rams and Kyoto Owls completed their game despite the rain.

The Rakisuta Rams defeated the Kyoto Owls, 6-2. Left Fielder Go Yagi deserved a large share of the credit. Yagi was 4-5 with a home run and 3 singles. He scored 3 times and drove in 4 for the Rams. The 4th-place Rams improved to 66-73.

Yagi had a game-changing home run in the top of the ninth. On a first pitch fastball from Kenshin Kon, he banged a grand slam home run to left-center, giving the Rams a 6-2 lead. It was the 14th home run of the year for Yagi.

"Scoring runs is scoring runs," said Rakisuta skipper Kinzo Yoshimura. "It's important to have different ways to do it."
