Reliables Slip Past Kyoto, 6-5
The rain did not keep Hosho and Kyoto from finishing their game.

Hosho first baseman Senichi Kawakami was a significant contributor in his team's 6-5 triumph over the Kyoto Owls. He went 3 for 4 with a home run, 2 singles, and was hit by a pitch. He scored 2 times for the Reliables. Kinichi Ota, now 8-7, was credited with the win in 3 innings of relief. He allowed 1 run on 3 hits, while striking out 2 and walking 1.

Hosho used the clutch hitting of Zeshin Abe to snag the win. The pinch hitter drilled a 2-run home run in the top of the ninth inning to put the Reliables ahead, 6-5. It was his lone hit in 1 at-bat, but it was a crucial one.

Abe told a Hosho Times reporter that he was "delighted" with the win.

The third-place Reliables now have a win-loss record of 44-39.
