Owls Come Back Late, Nip Bears
Sapporo wasted an exceptional performance by pitcher Naruki Shimada, falling to the Kyoto Owls, 5-4. Shimada threw 7.0 innings of 4-hit ball for the losing team. Kyoto goes to 6-0.

Kyoto used the timely hitting of Sukeichi Onodera to seize the win. The pinch hitter stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the eighth inning to put the Owls on top, 5-4. It was his only hit in 1 at-bat, but it was a game-changer.

"We were the better team," crowed Onodera.
