Hosho Downs Yokohama, 6-3
The rain came, as predicted, but the Hosho Reliables and Yokohama Kingfishers were able to complete their ballgame.

Shihei Saito, who is tied for 2nd in the EL in quality starts with 11, propelled his team to victory over the Yokohama Kingfishers. The final score was 6-3, Hosho. Hosho now sports a record of 43-21.

Hosho won the game in part because of Toshimasa Ikeda. The right fielder ripped a solo home run in the top of the third inning to put the Reliables ahead, 2-0. For the game, Ikeda had 1 double and 1 home run in 4 at-bats.

"One win at a time, one game at a time. We try not to get too far ahead of ourselves," Ikeda told the Hosho News.
