Reliables Reel Off Another Win
The Hosho Reliables reigned over the Kyoto Owls in damp conditions.

Hosho left fielder Kiyoemon Hayashida made his presence felt in the 9-3 Reliables triumph over the Kyoto Owls. Hayashida went 4-4 with 4 singles and a walk. He drove in 2 runs. Kiyoharu Kawamoto, the winner, improved to 8-5. He held Kyoto to 2 runs on 4 hits over 6 innings, while racking up 6 strikeouts.

In the top of the third, the Reliables found themselves in a jam. Kyoto had the bases loaded with two out. The score was 2-0, Hosho. Minehiro Smith was at the plate, hoping to deal the Reliables a serious blow. Instead, he struck out to end the threat.

The Reliables, now 46-27, have won 7 in a row.
