Bears Win by Slim Margin, 5-4
The Sapporo Bears took Takehiro Moriyama's best shot and still were able to collect a win at Kanda Stadium. The final score had Sapporo getting past the Dynamics, 5-4, in 11 innings. Moriyama over 7.2 innings allowed 3 runs on 7 hits, while striking out 3. The winner in relief was Eisaku Yamaoka. He is now 1-1. The right-hander allowed no runs on no hits in 2 innings. With the loss, Denki drops to 1-1.

Sapporo used the timely hitting of Tango Wada to seize the win. The pinch hitter stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the 11th inning to put the Bears on top, 5-4. It was his only hit in 1 at-bat, but it was a game-changer.

"It's still just a game," said Wada, "whether you win or lose."
