Fans saw a dandy of a game between the Hosho Reliables and Rakisuta Rams.

The Reliables grabbed a win, 1-0, at Rakisuta Stadium, overcoming a fine effort from Rakisuta pitcher Juro Esaki. Esaki went 8 innings and allowed no runs. The Reliables lead the Eastern League by 10 games.

Esaki gave opposing hitters fits all game. He allowed 2 hits in 8 innings while striking out 6 in a fine outing, but the Reliables didn't give him much run support.
