The Shizuoka Volley - September 1, 2042
Arrows updates, fast and on target!
* The guys in green turned the heat back up in August, going 18-8 and finishing the month on a six-game win streak.
* Losing Yoshikuni Yokota to an intercostal strain stinks, but that's why we've got Mitsuchika Saruwatari! The old man has started to step up, batting .400 since becoming a full-time DH. That's close to what Yokota was doing this month.
* Good to see some old friends like Akiho Sana and Masashi Koide return to the team after spending most of the season in AAA. Here's hoping they can contribute down the stretch!
* Kikaku Nakayama finally had a rough enough stretch to justify a demotion - that time will come for Toyonobu Nishino if he's not careful. At least Takao Koike's been on a tear this month!
* The magic number sits at 13 for your Arrows. Get ready to celebrate Clinchmas again!!
