Reliables Snatch Late Win
The Hosho Reliables faced a tenacious opponent in Denki pitcher Tsuneari Nakai, but still scratched out a win at Nagoya Minami Stadium by a final score of 7-6 in 10 innings. Nakai went 6 innings and allowed 1 run. Hosho reliever Motomu Taira was the winner. His record is now 4-3. Tenshou Hirata took the loss. With the win, the Reliables improved to 40-16.

Akitoshi Yamane played the role of hero for Hosho. In the bottom of the tenth, he launched a solo home run off Tenshou Hirata to win the game. It was his only hit in 3 at-bats, but it was the decisive blow.

In postgame comments, Yamane said he was glad to contribute to an exciting win.
