| Dynamics Win in Extras, 5-3 | The Denki Dynamics defeated the Hosho Reliables, 5-3, in 12 innings at Nagoya Minami Stadium. Kinnojo Hirao pulled his weight. The 15-year veteran went 2-5 with a home run, while adding 3 RBI and scoring once. Yoshiharu Miyagi earned save number 4 this season. The first-place Reliables have lost 5 straight games.
Denki used the timely hitting of Kiyoji Sakata to seize the win. The pinch hitter stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the 12th inning to put the Dynamics on top, 4-3. It was his only hit in 1 at-bat, but it was a game-changer.
"We're in a little funk right now and we've just got to get ourselves out of it," said Hosho manager Shun Kawamura. | |
