Rakisuta Topples Hosho, 5-4
Despite a fine performance by center fielder Koji Katagiri, the Hosho Reliables lost to the Rakisuta Rams, 5-4. Katagiri was 3-4 with a home run and a double, while adding 3 RBI and scoring once. The third-place Rams improved to 41-36.

The result might have been different, had it not been for 24-year old third baseman Kihachi Harada. Harada had a run-scoring single in the top of the seventh inning to put the Rams ahead, 4-3. For the game, Harada had 1 double and 2 singles in 4 at-bats.

"Good win for us," said Harada. "We'll strap it on and go after the next one."
