Dynamics Swat Reliables, 11-1
The 11-1 Denki win over Hosho was due largely to Tsutomu Takahashi. The Dynamics third baseman hit 3 home runs, while adding 7 RBI and scoring three times. Denki is now 47-40.

With Denki leading 2-1 in the top of the fifth, Takahashi batted against Hosho pitcher Kiyoharu Kawamoto. Takahashi hit a fastball to left-center for a 2-run home run. His 8th home run of the season put the Dynamics on top, 4-1.

Hosho manager Shun Kawamura called the blowout loss "not my idea of a good time."
