Reliables Slip Past Kingfishers, 4-3
The Hosho Reliables beat the Yokohama Kingfishers, 4-3. Hosho pitcher and Bando, Japan, native Naruto Noda led the way. The Reliables saw their win-loss record go to 67-41. At the same time, the Kingfishers fell to 44-64.

Up to bat in the bottom of the tenth, 13-year veteran Yorihiko Kawata had a chance to be the hero. Yokohama pitcher Taishi Yoshimura had other ideas. But with one out, Kawata hit a sacrifice fly. The Reliables had themselves a dramatic win.

"I like what I saw today," said Hosho manager Shun Kawamura, "and I can't wait to get back out there and do it again."
