| Dynamics Slip Past Reliables, 3-2 | Starting pitcher Tekkan Mihara gave the Denki Dynamics a rock-solid performance, helping them defeat the Hosho Reliables, 3-2, in 14 innings. Shinichi Kanehara came out of the bullpen to earn the win. The right-hander allowed no runs on 3 hits in 3 innings. His record now stands at 2-1. The loss makes Hosho 29-14.
The climactic moment came in the bottom of the 14th for Denki. That's when former first round draft pick Sukeichi Jimbo hit a solo home run off Ryunosuke Saito to win the game. The home crowd erupted in celebration.
"It took some blood and sweat, but we got what we were after," said Dynamics manager Carl Johnson. | |
