Reliables Deal Dynamics 6-5 Loss
Conditions were not ideal but Hosho and Denki were able to put their game in the books.

The Hosho Reliables dealt the Denki Dynamics a 6-5 loss at Kanda Stadium. Yamahiko Hirata was the star on offense. He went 3 for 5 with a home run and 2 singles, while adding 2 RBI and scoring once. Shinki Kimura got the win, improving to 6-2. He held the Dynamics to 4 runs on 6 hits over 6.2 innings, while striking out 6 and walking 1. Kinichi Ota recorded the save for Hosho, his 1st of the season.

With Hosho leading 5-1 in the top of the sixth, Hirata hit a run-scoring single off Denki hurler Yoshimatsu Shiina. It was the 66th hit of the season for Hirata and put his team ahead, 6-1.

"It was our day today," Hirata told the Hosho Citizen. "But we've got to keep our nose to the grindstone."

Hosho has now won 3 in a row.
