Reliables Rally Late to Nip Owls
Hosho beat Kyoto at Owls Park, eking out a 6-5 win. The win was due in large part to catcher Emori Ryu. He went 4 for 4 with a home run, a double, and 2 singles. He drove in 2 runs and scored once. The winner in relief was Junya Yamagata. The right-hander allowed 1 run on 2 hits in 2 innings. He now owns a record of 3-1. The save was credited to Motomu Taira, his 12th.

Had Samba Nitta not delivered a key base hit in the top of the eighth, the outcome might have been different. Instead, with two down and runners on 1st and 2nd, Nitta hit a run-scoring single. That made the score 5-4, in favor of the Reliables.

"It feels good to get this one," Nitta told the Hosho Citizen.

The win lifted the Hosho record to 22-9.
