Reliables Get Past Yokohama for 6-5 Win
The Hosho Reliables knocked off the Yokohama Kingfishers, 6-5, at Nagoya Minami Stadium. Jokichi Kono was a big reason Hosho won. The catcher went 3 for 5 with a double and 2 singles. He drove in 2 runs and scored once. The second-place Reliables have won 4 consecutive games.

The clutch at-bat came in the bottom of the ninth inning, when Hosho pinch hitter Hiroshi Ishikawa, facing Toshinori Osada, had a run-scoring sacrifice fly. It gave the Reliables the 6-5 win.

"The vibe's good," said Hosho manager Shun Kawamura. "We've got to keep it going."
