Denki and Hosho got after it at Nagoya Minami Stadium.

Jin Kaji powered the Denki Dynamics to a win over the Hosho Reliables. The final score was 9-4. The Denki second baseman, who is tied for 5th in the EL in bases on balls with 18, was a force to be reckoned with. He banged out 2 extra-base hits, including 1 home run and 1 double. The win puts Denki at 15-13.

With Denki leading 4-2 in the top of the fourth, Kaji hit a cutter from Takashi Masuda for a grand slam home run. It was his 5th home run of the season and put the Dynamics ahead, 8-2.

"This was a total team effort," said Kaji.
