| Reliables Hope Opening Day Win Bodes Well for Season | The Hosho Reliables got their 1974 Baseball Association of Nippon season off to a good start, defeating the Yokohama Kingfishers, 10-4. Billy McCullough set the pace. He went 2-4 with 2 singles and a walk. He drove in 3 runs and scored once.
The Reliables benefited from an error in the bottom of the first inning. Hosho was leading 3-0 when Rkuemon Endo hit a 2-run single that was misplayed. It put Hosho in front, 5-0.
"We were able to get some things going offensively," said McCullough. | |
