Reliables Pull Off Thrilling 10-8 Win in Extras
The inspired effort of Sapporo shortstop Shikato Murata was not enough to prevent a loss, 10-8, to the Hosho Reliables. Murata was 3 for 5 with a home run, a triple, and a double. He scored 2 times and drove in 4. Hosho is now 41-27. Sapporo is 28-42.

Hosho used the timely hitting of Micho Nakajima to seize the win. The second baseman stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the tenth inning to put the Reliables on top, 9-8. It was his only hit in 2 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.

"Our goal is to improve each and every day," Nakajima told the Hosho Citizen.
