Watanabe Hammers 2 Homers in 9-4 Win
Yukio Watanabe was instrumental in his team's 9-4 triumph over the Denki Dynamics. The first baseman belted 2 home runs, while adding 6 RBI and scoring twice for the Hosho Reliables. The winning pitcher was Kiyoharu Kawamoto. He tossed 108 pitches over 7 innings, allowing 4 runs on 8 hits. The Reliables improved to a lofty 29-12.

Hosho used the timely hitting of Toshimasa Ikeda to seize the win. The right fielder stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the eighth inning to put the Reliables on top, 5-4. It was his only hit in 5 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.

"We're playing hard," said Ikeda, "and we're playing to win."
