Owls Rough Up Bears, 9-2
Riding the 2-hit performance of the 30-year old third baseman Tensui Kato, the Kyoto Owls stopped the Sapporo Bears, 9-2. Herm Brooks got the win, improving to 1-0. He worked 7.1 innings, giving up 2 runs on 6 hits, while striking out 5 and walking 2. Sapporo falls to 2-3.

The game turned with one out in the top of the fourth. That's when Kato hit a 3-run home run off Masaru Ryu. It propelled the Owls into the lead, 5-2.

"It's the best feeling when you come through for your teammates," said Kato.
