1B Watanabe Lights Up Bulls for 5 RBIs as Reliables Tie NCS
Hosho first baseman Yukio Watanabe was the difference-maker for the Reliables in what turned into a shootout with the Kobe Bulls. Watanabe earned accolades after going 2-for-5 in the 12-5 Reliables win. With the victory, the Reliables moved into a 1-1 tie in the best-of-7 series.

Watanabe had an important at-bat with the bases loaded in the bottom of the seventh, when he hit a grand slam home run. The Reliables went on to win.

Watanabe said afterward that his team has grown over the course of the season, adding: "It feels good when a plan comes together."

Game 3 is scheduled for Tuesday at Matsunoki Stadium in Kobe.
