Reliables Dealt 8-6 Loss by Denki
Wet weather did not postpone the Denki-Hosho ballgame.

Behind the hitting of Ritsuki Iwasa, the Denki Dynamics stopped the Hosho Reliables, 8-6. Iwasa went 1-3 with a home run, while adding 4 RBI and scoring once for the Dynamics. The winning pitcher was Tom Hodges. He tossed 110 pitches over 6 innings, allowing 3 runs on 6 hits. Teruhide Hara picked up the save for Denki, his 1st of the year.

With Denki leading 4-3 in the bottom of the sixth, Iwasa hit a fastball from Niou Nagao for a grand slam home run. It was his 1st home run of the season and put the Dynamics ahead, 8-3.

"Feels good to get the job done," Iwasa said after the game.

The Dynamics have stumbled out of the gate, getting only their 5th win in 18 games.
