The Hosho Reliables picked up a win at Rakisuta Stadium, knocking off the Rakisuta Rams, 9-2. On the mound for Hosho was right-hander Takashi Masuda. He played a key role in the triumph. The first-place Reliables sport a record of 69-42.

The Reliables got a big hit from center fielder Akitoshi Yamane. Facing Rakisuta pitcher Kinichi Harada in the top of the seventh, Yamane pounded a grand slam home run to left-center. His 13th home run of the season put the Reliables ahead, 8-1.

"We were able to put some runs on the board," said Yamane after the game.
