Dynamics Curb Reliables, 3-2
In a tight tilt between the Denki Dynamics and the Hosho Reliables, Sadatake Suzuki was the deciding factor. The Denki right-hander spearheaded the 3-2 win. Tsunemori Takanezawa notched his 11th save in 17 chances. The win puts Denki at 36-58.

Had Kentaro Tsuda not delivered a key base hit in the bottom of the seventh, the outcome might have been different. Instead, with two down and runners on 1st and 3rd, Tsuda hit a run-scoring single. That made the score 3-2, in favor of the Dynamics.

"It's good to win," Tsuda told the Denki Observer. "I like to have fun doing it."
