Kingfishers Lose to Hosho, 4-3
The Hosho Reliables withstood a fine game by Yokohama shortstop Buncho Fukuhara at Nagoya Minami Stadium, to upend the Kingfishers, 4-3. Fukuhara was 2-3 with a home run and a walk. He drove in 2 runs and scored once. With the win, Hosho boosts its record to 14-5.

The game was at a stalemate until center fielder Akitoshi Yamane came to bat in the bottom of the eighth. Facing Yokohama pitcher Kiyoji Nakamura, he hit a 0-2 curveball for a run-scoring single. It was a game-changer, putting Hosho on top, 4-3.

Hosho manager Shun Kawamura was pleased with the team's effort. "Our guys played hard," he said.
