 | Hosho Reliables Clinch First in Eastern League Tuesday, October 1st , 1974 It wasn't easy, but the Hosho Reliables are champions of the Eastern League. The club faced challenges to the crown throughout the season, but in the end have edged their division rivals to grab the playoff spot. "Relief. Happiness. Excitement," was how closer Motomu Taira responded when asked what he's feeling after the clinch. "We're all looking forward to getting the playoffs started." The team has a 82-57 record, which has wrapped up their 7th division title. Team manager Shun Kawamura said it would be "extremely satisfying" to be the man at the helm when the team captures its 3rd BAN Championship Series. |   |
