Though the conditions were not ideal, the Hosho Reliables and Kyoto Owls came back from a rain delay to finish their game.

The Kyoto Owls took it on the chin, losing, 12-1, to the Hosho Reliables. Takashi Masuda, who finished 4th in the EL in strikeouts with 124 in 1969, pitched a strong game for Hosho. The victory makes Hosho 11-6, as the team seeks a return to the playoffs in 1975.

Hosho starter Takashi Masuda pitched like a boss. The 6-foot-1 right-hander allowed 1 run on 2 hits over 8 innings.

"Takashi was Takashi," said Reliables manager Shun Kawamura. "We know what we'll get whenever he takes the mound."
