Reliables Smith Dominates Kingfishers
Everything clicked on the hill for Takamichi Smith, as he hurled the Hosho Reliables to a shutout win, 5-0, over the Yokohama Kingfishers, limiting them to 4 hits while recording 4 strikeouts and yielding 1 walk. He overpowered some batters with fastballs and buckled knees with sharp breaking pitches.

"We had our shot at him a couple of different times," Kingfishers manager Tommy McDonell said. "We just weren't able to get to him."

In 22 starts this season, Smith has registered a 6-9 record and a 3.24 ERA.
