Denki Dynamics starter Tom Hodges was on his game, helping his team beat the Sapporo Bears, 9-2. Hodges picked up the win for Denki, going 7.1 innings. He gave up 2 runs on 6 hits. He now sports a record of 1-0. Sapporo is now 7-3.

Denki used a clutch at-bat from Minehiro Onishi to capture the win. The catcher hammered a 2-run home run in the top of the fifth inning to put the Dynamics ahead, 3-0. It was his lone hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a humdinger.

"A confident pitcher is a dangerous thing," said Denki manager Tadashi Iwamoto. "That's what Tom is right now."
