| Hosho Scrapes Out 4-1 Win | The Hosho Reliables took Rakisuta pitcher Sadato Hayakawa's best shot and still were able to claim a win at Rakisuta Stadium. The final score had Hosho getting past the Rams, 4-1. Hayakawa went 6 innings and allowed 1 run, striking out 6. The Reliables raised their record to 66-53.
Hosho used the timely hitting of So Ando to seize the win. The pinch hitter stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the eighth inning to put the Reliables on top, 2-1. It was his only hit in 1 at-bat, but it was a game-changer.
"Very pleased with the effort on our side," said Ando.
