Yokohama Scrapes Out 2-1 Win
The Hosho Reliables wasted an impressive 7-inning effort from starter Shihei Saito, falling, 2-1, to the Yokohama Kingfishers in 10 innings at Nagoya Minami Stadium. Yokohama reliever Chosuke Tsugawa was the winner. His record is now 4-0. The losing pitcher was Sho Sumi. The last-place Kingfishers lifted their record to 55-83.

Timely hitting helped the Kingfishers beat the Reliables. Prime example: the two-out single Bibb Martin registered in the top of the tenth. Facing Sho Sumi, Martin gave his team the lead, 2-1, when he hit a run-scoring single.

"This is a resilient bunch," said Yokohama manager Masayoshi Nozawa.
