Reliables Need Extra Innings to Top Kingfishers, 5-3
The Hosho Reliables took Kiyoji Nakamura's best shot and still were able to collect a win at Nagoya Minami Stadium. The final score had Hosho getting past the Kingfishers, 5-3, in 10 innings. Nakamura over 7 innings allowed 2 runs on 6 hits, while striking out 2. Hosho reliever Sho Sumi picked up the win, upping his record to 6-1. NorogumiOda Tominaga was saddled with the loss. With the victory, the Reliables upped their record to 33-15.

Hosho got a game-changing hit from Yukio Watanabe. The first baseman blasted a 2-run home run in the bottom of the tenth inning to win the game. It was his only hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a winner.

"Good hitters want to be the ones taking those big at-bats," said Watanabe.
