Hosho Defeats Denki, 5-3
The Hosho Reliables reigned over the Denki Dynamics in damp conditions.

The Hosho Reliables spoiled a good performance by Denki shortstop Ritsuki Iwasa, bumping off Denki, 5-3, at Kanda Stadium. Iwasa was 3-3 with a double and 2 singles. He drove in 2 runs and scored once. Kinichi Ota picked up the save, his 9th.

The result might have been different, had it not been for former first round draft pick Yamahiko Hirata. Hirata had a run-scoring sacrifice fly in the top of the seventh inning to put the Reliables ahead, 4-2. For the game, Hirata had 1 double and 1 single in 4 at-bats.

Hirata called the win the result of "everyone working in tandem."

The win hiked the Hosho record to 49-47.
