Bears Fall to Reliables Late
The Hosho Reliables dealt the Sapporo Bears a 5-4 loss at Nagoya Minami Stadium. Yukio Watanabe, who led the EL in slugging percentage with .723 last year, was the star on offense. He went 2 for 4 with a home run, a double, and a walk, while adding 4 RBI and scoring once. The win makes Hosho 51-32.

The game was decided with two out in the bottom of the ninth. With Hosho trailing 4-2, Watanabe hit a slider from Jim Jackson for a bases-clearing double. In the blink of an eye, the Reliables had a walk-off win.

Postgame, Reliables manager Shun Kawamura complimented Watanabe. "No question about it. Weed was terrific."
