Reliables Earn Late Win
Despite a great performance by Denki right fielder Eishin Yoshimura, the Hosho Reliables defeated the Dynamics by the score of 7-6 at Kanda Stadium. Yoshimura went 4 for 5 with a double and 3 singles. He scored 2 times. Kinichi Ota, now 6-10, picked up the win in relief. He allowed no runs on 1 hit in 3 innings. The last-place Dynamics have lost 5 consecutive games.

Hosho used a timely hit from Koji Katagiri to get the win. The left fielder stroked a run-scoring double in the top of the eighth inning to put the Reliables ahead, 7-6. It was his only hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a difference-maker.

"I just try to go out and give it 100 percent every game," Katagiri told a local reporter after the game. "That's my mantra, and like today, it will pay off more often than not."
