Bullock Excels, But Reliables Win
The Hosho Reliables reigned over the Denki Dynamics in damp conditions.

The Denki Dynamics got a sterling performance from right fielder Joe Bullock, but the Hosho Reliables still prevailed, 10-6. Bullock went 4-5 with a home run, a double, and 2 singles, while scoring 4 runs. The winner was Kinichi Ota, who threw 105 pitches over 8 innings. The right-hander was charged with 4 runs on 13 hits.

The Dynamics had been locked in a 1-1 tie with the Reliables going into the top of the third inning. That changed quickly when the 30-year old catcher Jokichi Kono came to the plate. Kono hit a 2-run home run on a first pitch curveball from Denki hurler Komiya Takahashi. It was Kono's 3rd home run of the year.

"I feel like a little kid every time I put the uniform on," said Kono.

The win gives Hosho a record of 11-7.
