Almost There: Kumamoto On Cusp of APS Triumph After 4-2 Win
The Kumamoto Kuma moved to within one game of the Japan Series, downing the Seki Katanakaji on the road at Katanakaji Stadium by a score of 4-2. Kuma right-hander Tokutomi Sakai had a strong outing. He threw 8.2 innings allowing 2 runs. The win gives the Kuma a 3-1 advantage in the best-of-7 Pennant Series.

Max Rousset had a direct impact on the outcome. Rousset contributed a run-scoring single in the top of the third inning to put Kumamoto up, 3-0.

Kumamoto manager Plinio Cortez said his team played a "no nonsense" game.

The next game is set to be played tomorrow at Katanakaji Stadium in Seki.
