Owls Notch 8-7 Win Versus Reliables
Behind the hitting of Toyohiro Wada, the Kyoto Owls stopped the Hosho Reliables, 8-7. Wada went 3-5 with a home run and 2 singles. He scored 2 times and drove in 3 for the Owls. Ukita Tomita, the winner, is now 10-7. He struck out 2 and walked 3 over 5.2 innings, while allowing 7 runs on 10 hits. The second-place Owls go to 59-46.

A key moment came when Wada faced Hosho hurler Takashi Masuda in the top of the sixth. The Owls, who were trailing 5-4, had runners on 2nd and 3rd. Wada got a 2-2 cutter and hit a 2-run single.

"We had the game right there for the taking," said Hosho manager Shun Kawamura. "But we decided not to take it."
