The Grand Rapids Rafters beat the Niigata Gigans, 7-4, at Grand Rapids Grounds. Yataro Takaki starred for Grand Rapids. He was 2 for 4 with a home run and a double. He scored 2 runs and drove in 6. The Rafters now have a record of 27-18.

Takaki had a game-changing double in the bottom of the eighth. On a 1-1 changeup from Mike Spencer, he banged a 2-run double to left-center, giving the Rafters a 6-4 lead. It was the 8th double of the year for Takaki.

Takaki expressed little emotion after the game. "Every game we win now," he said, "is one less win we'll need to get in the end."
