Reliables Pull Out Late Win, 5-4
The Hosho Reliables polished off the Rakisuta Rams by the score of 5-4. The largest share of the credit belonged to first baseman Bill Bloom. Bloom went 2 for 2 with a home run, a double, and 2 walks. He scored 3 runs for the Reliables. The win gives Hosho a record of 5-0.

Yamahiko Hirata had a big 2-run double for the Reliables in the bottom of the sixth inning. With Hosho trailing 3-2 and runners on 2nd and 3rd, he got a sinker from former first round draft pick Soseki Tanabe and swatted a double to right-center. It was his 1st double of the season, and more importantly, it put the Reliables ahead, 4-3.

"Nice to keep stacking the wins," said Hirata.
