Hosho Wins 6-3 to Continue Red-Hot Start
The Hosho Reliables knocked off the Denki Dynamics, 6-3, at Kanda Stadium. Daijiro Nakamura was a big reason Hosho won. The shortstop was 2 for 4 with 2 home runs and a walk. Kiyoharu Kawamoto, who went 7 innings, was the winning pitcher. He was charged with 3 runs on 5 hits, while walking 2 and striking out 4. His record now stands at 1-1. Picking up the save was seven-time All-Star Motomu Taira.

Nakamura had an important at-bat with the bases empty in the top of the sixth, when he hit a solo home run. The Reliables went on to win.

Nakamura said, "Whether you hit the ball hard, you walk, you have a long at-bat, 10 or 12 pitches, or you hit a homer, you're just trying to do anything you can do to help the team win."

Hosho has a record of 10-3.
