Bloom Propels Reliables to 8-1 Win
Sapporo Stadium was the site for Eastern League action featuring the Sapporo Bears and Hosho Reliables.

Bill Bloom had a 3-RBI game, during Hosho's 8-1 triumph over the Sapporo Bears. Bloom contributed 3 singles and 1 home run to the cause. Hosho, now 7-2, is setting the league on fire so far.

Hosho used the hitting of Yasunori Smith to pick up the win. The second baseman clubbed a 3-run home run in the top of the fourth inning to put the Reliables on top, 3-1. For the game, Smith had 1 home run and 1 single in 4 at-bats.

"My job is to go out and play as hard as I can for the Reliables," said Smith.
