Reliables Pin 6-2 Loss on Sapporo
Hosho Reliables starter Takashi Masuda pitched effectively against the Sapporo Bears at Sapporo Stadium. The right-hander spearheaded his team's 6-2 win. With the win, the Reliables hiked their record to 27-13.

Who knows how it might've ended, had it not been for Toshimasa Ikeda? The Hosho right fielder had a run-scoring double in the top of the second inning to put the Reliables on top, 1-0. For the game, Ikeda had 2 doubles and 1 single in 4 at-bats.

"Takashi was pretty good at keeping their guys off-balance," said Hosho manager Shun Kawamura.
