Hosho and Kyoto duked it out and the Reliables came out victorious.

Reliables shortstop Yamahiko Hirata left his imprint on his team's 6-4 win over the Kyoto Owls. Hirata went 3-3 with a home run, 2 singles, and 2 walks. He scored 2 runs and drove in 2 for Hosho in the contest. Hosho raised its record to 57-54 with the win.

Hosho took a 6-3 lead on Hirata's 20th home run of the season. The 2-run home run, which he hit off Kuniaki Usui in the top of the eighth, propelled Hosho to the win.

"It's nice to step up when your team needs you," said Hirata.
