Reliables Rough Up Rams, 8-2
The 8-2 Hosho win over Rakisuta was due in large part to Yukio Watanabe. The Reliables first baseman was 3-3 with 2 home runs, a walk, and was hit by a pitch. He drove in 4 runs and scored twice. Shihei Saito picked up the win with 9 innings of work. He allowed 2 runs on 6 hits, while walking 0 and striking out 3. On the season, he is now 13-7. Rakisuta's current losing streak is now 5 games.

Early in the game, Watanabe had a 2-run home run for Hosho. It was his 35th home run of the season and put the Reliables on top, 2-0.

"Getting a lot of baserunners and getting some timely hits, it's a good combination," said Watanabe.
