The Hosho Reliables and Denki Dynamics completed their game despite the inclement weather.

Hosho pitcher Shihei Saito had a large part in his team beating the Denki Dynamics, 7-2. The right-hander kept opposing batters in check throughout the game. Hosho is now 80-54.

Hosho used a big swing from Yukio Watanabe to get the win. The first baseman walloped a 3-run home run in the top of the third inning to put the Reliables up, 4-0. It was his lone hit in 3 at-bats, but it changed the outcome.

"Good win for us," said Watanabe. "Now we'll focus on the next one."
