Reliables Win, Now 50-49 | Though the conditions were not ideal, the Hosho Reliables and Rakisuta Rams came back from a rain delay to finish their game.
Pitching was the name of the game in a tight contest between the Hosho Reliables and the Rakisuta Rams. Hosho won it, 3-1. Hosho starter Shinki Kimura was in command. Kinichi Ota picked up his 10th save of the season.
Who knows how it might've ended, had it not been for Tomohiko Hamano? The Hosho center fielder had a run-scoring double in the top of the second inning to put the Reliables on top, 1-0. For the game, Hamano had 1 double and 1 single in 4 at-bats.
"Every loss hurts," said Rakisuta manager Bob Lester. "But this was a tough one."
At 50-49, the Reliables are currently 4th in the Eastern League. | |
