Hosho Gets 4-2 Win Versus Yokohama in 11
The Yokohama Kingfishers got a sterling performance from pitcher Kakuro Watanabe, but the Hosho Reliables still prevailed, 4-2. Watanabe threw 10.0 innings of 4-hit ball. The first-place Reliables bumped their record to 28-13.

Hosho got a knockout punch from Yukio Watanabe. The first baseman hammered a 2-run home run in the bottom of the 11th inning to win the game. It might've been his only hit, but it decided the outcome.

"Nice win for us," said Watanabe. "Now we'll go after the next one."
