The Hosho Reliables reigned over the Yokohama Kingfishers in damp conditions.

The Hosho Reliables picked up a win at Nagoya Minami Stadium, topping the Yokohama Kingfishers, 4-1. On the mound for Hosho was right-hander Takamichi Smith. He played a principal role in the triumph. Smith, the winner, moves to 3-6. He threw 7 innings of 4-hit ball, while fanning 5 and giving up 2 walks.

The Reliables got a big at-bat from first baseman Bill Bloom. For the game, Bloom was 2 for 4 with a double. He drove in 2 runs. In the bottom of the third, with runners on 1st and 2nd, he stroked a 2-run double. His 13th double of the season gave Hosho a 2-0 lead.

"I tried to mix it up, keep them off balance," said Smith.

The Hosho win streak is now 3 games.
