The Denki Dynamics opened their 1974 season with an extra-inning triumph over the Sapporo Bears at Kanda Stadium. The final score was 7-6. Denki first baseman Kinnojo Hirao had a big game. He hit 2 home runs, while adding 4 RBI and scoring twice.

The Dynamics got a clutch hit from center fielder Sukeichi Jimbo. In the bottom of the tenth, he delivered a run-scoring single to win the game for the Dynamics.

"Sometimes you get the ball in the right spot and it goes," said Hirao.
