Reliables Beat Owls, 4-3
Kyoto right fielder Kinmochi Yamamoto had a terrific game, but it still wasn't enough to get his team a win. Yamamoto was 3-4 with a home run, 2 singles, and a walk, while adding 2 RBI and scoring once, even as Hosho beat the Owls, 4-3. Hosho currently is in first place in the Eastern League at 47-28.

The Owls had been locked in a 0-0 tie with the Reliables going into the bottom of the fourth inning. That changed quickly when the 29-year old center fielder Akitoshi Yamane came to the plate. Yamane hit a 2-run triple on a 0-1 fastball from Kyoto hurler Norikazu Takai. It was Yamane's 1st triple of the year.

"Just glad I could help us get a win," said Yamane.
