Reliables Fall Short, 3-2, at Denki
Crowds lined up early in front of Kanda Stadium, eagerly awaiting the start of the 1961 Baseball Association of Nippon season. On the mound was Shinki Kimura for the visiting Hosho Reliables and Yoshimatsu Shiina for the hometown Denki Dynamics. In a spirited contest, the Dynamics pulled out the win, defeating the Reliables by the score of 3-2. Especially impressive was Shinki Kimura. Kijuro Fukushima, 1-0, earned the win in relief. He allowed no runs on no hits in 2 innings.

Denki took the lead, 3-2, on Ken'ichi Matsuda's 1st home run of the season. The 2-run home run came off Hosho pitcher Kinichi Ota in the bottom of the eighth.

"It takes a lot of things to win a ballgame," said Denki manager Tadashi Iwamoto. "It's usually not just one thing."
