Sapporo Hangs 6-0 Loss on Denki
The Denki Dynamics had to reckon with Sapporo Bears hurler Yamada Yamanaka. Yamanaka, who led the EL in strikeouts with 153 in 1968, overwhelmed the opposition in the 6-0 Bears triumph. The win has Sapporo at 2-2.

Who knows how it might've ended, had it not been for Hiroiaki Nakazawa? The Sapporo catcher had a 2-run single in the top of the second inning to put the Bears on top, 2-0. For the game, Nakazawa had 1 double and 1 single in 4 at-bats.

"Yamada is a tough competitor," said Sapporo manager Ritsuo Yoshida.
