Dunham Drills 2 Homers in 4-2 Hosho Win
Due in large part to left fielder Hank Dunham, the Hosho Reliables sunk the Rakisuta Rams, 4-2. Dunham hit 2 home runs, while adding 4 RBI and scoring twice. Motomu Taira notched his 35th save in 38 chances. Rakisuta has now lost 6 straight.

Hosho took a 4-1 lead on Dunham's 30th home run of the season. The 2-run home run, which he hit off Kinichi Harada in the top of the sixth, propelled Hosho to the win.

"We've hit a rough patch right now," said Rakisuta skipper Kinzo Yoshimura.
