Golden Eagles Edge Saitama Seibu in Pitching Duel
Tohoku Rakuten played host to Saitama Seibu at the friendly confines of Sailboats Ballpark.

The Golden Eagles had to overcome a good performance from Saitama Seibu pitcher Taisuke Nakamoto to claim a 1-0 win at Sailboats Ballpark. Nakamoto went 5.1 innings and allowed 1 earned run. Tohoku Rakuten reliever Yukiyoshi Gushiken got the win, raising his record to 4-0. Taisuke Nakamoto was tagged with the loss.

Tomoyuki Yoshioka drew 1 walk for Tohoku Rakuten. The 22-year old second baseman had a key at-bat in the bottom of the sixth. With one out and runners on 1st and 3rd, he broke a 0-0 tie with a run-scoring sacrifice fly off Kaita Yamamoto. It was his 13th RBI of the season.

Yoshioka called the win the result of "everyone being in sync."

The winning streak has now reached 4 games for Tohoku Rakuten.
