Kingfishers Beaten, 4-3, by Hosho
The Hosho Reliables and Yokohama Kingfishers completed their game despite the rain.

Hosho parlayed a decent outing from starter Shirai Takahashi into a solid win over the Yokohama Kingfishers. The final score was 4-3. Takahashi went the distance for Hosho. He gave up 3 runs on 4 hits.

Hosho second baseman Kusuo Sato contributed a timely at-bat in the bottom of the fourth. With two down, he hit a slider to center field for a 2-run single. It was his 2nd hit of the season and put the Reliables ahead, 4-0.

"I was determined to go the distance," said Takahashi.

The loss lowers the Yokohama record to 5-5.
