| Reliables Get Better of Rams, 4-0 | The Hosho Reliables picked up a win at Nagoya Minami Stadium, knocking off the Rakisuta Rams, 4-0. On the mound for Hosho was right-hander Takashi Masuda. He played a key role in the triumph. The winner was Masuda. He threw 7.1 innings of shutout ball. The loser was Kinya Wada. Motomu Taira closed the game out for Hosho, earning his 8th save.
Daijiro Nakamura dealt the Rams a blow in the bottom of the sixth. Batting with the bases loaded and Hosho leading 1-0, Nakamura, who is tied for 10th in the EL in hits with 65, hit a 0-1 sinker for a run-scoring single.
"Takashi was strictly business," said Hosho field general Shun Kawamura.
The Reliables win now puts them at 46-21. | |
