Kingfishers Lose, 5-2, as Reliables Rally
Yokohama got a terrific performance from pitcher Bill Sauerwein, but it wasn't enough to beat the Hosho Reliables. Hosho won the Kanagawa Stadium contest, 5-2. Sauerwein threw 7.2 innings of 2-hit ball for the losing team. The Reliables have an impressive 21-12 record.

Hosho used the timely hitting of Yorihiko Kawata to seize the win. The catcher stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the ninth inning to put the Reliables on top, 3-2. It was his only hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.

"Scoring runs is scoring runs," said Hosho skipper Shun Kawamura. "It's important to have different ways to do it."
