| Reliables Down Bears, 6-2 | Hosho beat Sapporo on the strength of starting pitcher Naruto Noda's fine effort. The right-hander led his team to a win, 6-2. Noda, who is tied for 3rd in the EL in complete games with 6, went the distance for Hosho. He gave up 2 runs on 6 hits. The Eastern League-leading Reliables have a record of 59-39.
Hosho used a well-timed hit by Hank Dunham to capture the win. The left fielder socked a 2-run double in the top of the fifth inning to put the Reliables ahead, 4-1. Though it was his only hit in 5 at-bats, it was important.
"Good win for us," said Noda. "Now we'll focus on the next one." | |
