Big Day for Watanabe as Reliables Down Kingfishers, 7-3
The 7-3 Hosho win over Yokohama was due largely to Yukio Watanabe. The Reliables first baseman hit 2 home runs. He scored 3 times and drove in 3. Picking up the win was Fumimaro Yamauchi. He went 7 innings, allowing 2 runs on 5 hits. The right--hander struck out 2 and walked 1. The 'W' lifts Hosho's record to 49-29.

Watanabe put Hosho up, 3-1, when he hit a solo home run off Motokazu Oyama in the bottom of the fifth. His 27th home run of the season helped the Reliables capture the win.

"Losing puts me in a bad mood," said Yokohama manager Masayoshi Nozawa. "And right now nobody wants to be around me."
