8-0 Win Takes Reliables to 52-47
The Kyoto Owls had their hands full with Hosho Reliables starter Niou Nagao, who frustrated Kyoto hitters while leading Hosho to a comfortable, 8-0 win. With the win, the Reliables have a record of 52-47.

Yamahiko Hirata had a big solo home run for the Reliables in the bottom of the third inning. With Hosho leading 1-0 and the bases empty, he sized up a fastball from Seishiro Kikuchi, who finished 5th in the EL in wins with 13 last year, and punished it. The result was his 18th home run of the season, which put the Reliables on top, 2-0.

Hirata told a local reporter: "My job is to go out and play as hard as I can."
