Sugimoto 4-5 as Golden Eagles Squeeze Past Hokkaido Nippon-Ham
The Tohoku Rakuten Golden Eagles did just enough to sneak past the Hokkaido Nippon-Ham Fighters, 10-9, at Ballpark of Hakui College. Tohoku Rakuten designated hitter Kiyotaka Sugimoto earned player of the game honors. Tohoku Rakuten reliever Tsugunosuke Kunishige was the winner. His record is now 1-0. The losing pitcher was Katsutaka Soma. Takamitsu Soma earned his 6th save in 6 tries.

Had Ryohei Yukimoto not delivered a key base hit in the top of the seventh, the outcome might have been different. Instead, with two down and the bases loaded, Yukimoto hit a bases-clearing double. That made the score 10-9, in favor of the Golden Eagles.

"What a game," said Yukimoto. "We needed every last run."

The Golden Eagles raised their record to 14-11.
