| Hirao goes 4-for-4 to Ignite Dynamics Offense | Dedicated fans weathered the storm to watch their beloved Dynamics beat the Owls.
Denki first baseman Kinnojo Hirao contributed significantly to his team's 6-4 win over the Kyoto Owls. Hirao, who is on pace for 110 RBI this season, went 4 for 4 with 1 run scored to lead the offensive attack for the Dynamics. Reliever Fumimune Iwamoto picked up the win. His record improves to 1-0. Alexis Perales took the loss.
Had Hirao not come through in the bottom of the seventh, who knows how the game would've ended? But with two down, Hirao hit a grand slam home run. The Dynamics took the lead, 5-4, and never looked back.
Hirao attributed the win to "an all-around good team performance."
The last-place Dynamics improved to 36-66.
