Hosho Downs Rakisuta, 9-4
Hosho and Rakisuta took Mother Nature's best shot and still managed to complete their ballgame.

The Hosho Reliables powered past the Rakisuta Rams, 9-4, at Nagoya Minami Stadium. Samba Nitta provided some of the pop. He went 3 for 4 with a home run and 2 singles. He drove in 3 runs and scored once. Ryunosuke Saito, now 3-1, picked up the win in relief. He allowed 4 runs on 5 hits in 4 innings.

The Rams had been locked in a 3-3 tie with the Reliables going into the bottom of the fourth inning. That changed quickly when the seven-time All-Star Hank Dunham came to the plate. Dunham hit a 2-run home run on a 1-0 splitter from Rakisuta hurler Sadatake Suzuki. It was Dunham's 36th home run of the year.

"Winning never gets dull," said Dunham.

The win makes Hosho 77-48.
