Reliables Use Late-Game Magic to Beat Bears, 3-1
Sapporo got a terrific performance from pitcher Arata Komatsu, but it wasn't enough to beat the Hosho Reliables. Hosho won the Sapporo Stadium contest, 3-1. Komatsu threw 8.1 innings of 3-hit ball for the losing team. The win went to Kinichi Ota in relief. His record improves to 2-3. Arata Komatsu took the loss. The win gives Hosho a season record of 19-18.

Hosho used the timely hitting of Jokichi Kono to seize the win. The catcher stroked a 2-run single in the top of the ninth inning to put the Reliables on top, 3-1. It was his only hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.

"We'll try to build on that win," Kono told the Hosho Citizen.
