Hosho Dismisses Yokohama, 4-2
The Hosho Reliables defeated the Yokohama Kingfishers, 4-2, at Kanagawa Stadium. Hosho was led by eight-time All-Star Hank Dunham, who was 3 for 5 with a home run and 2 singles. He scored 2 runs. The winner was Shihei Saito, who threw 104 pitches over 7 innings. The right-hander was charged with 2 runs on 8 hits. Earning his 1st save of the year was Matashichi Matsunaga.

Rkuemon Endo, who finished 3rd in the EL in stolen bases with 18 in 1969, had a direct impact on the outcome. Endo contributed a run-scoring single in the top of the fourth inning to put Hosho up, 3-1.

Yokohama manager Johnny Ruby said he was "mildly disappointed" with the loss. "We had our opportunities, but we didn't take advantage of them," he said.

The Reliables have an impressive 75-41 record.
