Reliables Win at Sapporo, 4-3
The Hosho Reliables topped the Sapporo Bears, 4-3, with center fielder Ryunosuke Kodama playing a big role. Kodama went 4-4 with a triple and 3 singles. He scored 2 runs for the Reliables in the win. Shihei Saito got credit for the win, improving to 5-3. He allowed 3 runs on 7 hits in 8 innings. The victory gives the Reliables a record of 26-12.

Hosho took a 4-3 lead on Samba Nitta's 6th home run of the season. The solo home run, which Nitta hit in the top of the seventh, left Sapporo pitcher Yoshifumi Kuramoto visibly frustrated.

Kodama called the win a testament to his team's "tenacity."
