Late Rally Earns Hosho 7-4 Win
Jokichi Kono left his imprint on the 7-4 Hosho win against the Denki Dynamics. Kono, who is tied for 10th in the EL with a .340 on-base percentage, went 4 for 4 with a home run and 3 singles. He drove in 2 runs and scored once. The Reliables improved their record to 42-29 with the win over Denki.

Magohachi Tanoue drew 1 walk for Hosho. The 24-year old third baseman had a key at-bat in the top of the ninth. With one out and the bases loaded, he broke a 2-2 tie with a run-scoring walk off Kuniaki Usui. It was his 8th walk of the season.

"I still think this team can play even better," Tanoue told the Hosho Citizen.
