Reliables Slap 4-3 Loss on Kingfishers
The Hosho Reliables and Yokohama Kingfishers played an exciting game.

The timely hitting of Masaki Yamaguchi helped the Hosho Reliables down the Yokohama Kingfishers, 4-3. Yamaguchi went 2-4 with a home run and a triple. He scored 2 runs and drove in 2 for the Reliables. The save went to Kinichi Ota, number 9 for him.

Hosho used a clutch at-bat from Jokichi Kono to capture the win. The catcher hammered a 2-run home run in the top of the fourth inning to put the Reliables ahead, 2-1. It was his lone hit in 3 at-bats, but it was a humdinger.

Said Hosho manager Shun Kawamura: "At the end of the day, these guys have to perform between the lines, and I think they did."

Hosho leads the Eastern League by 2 games.
