Bears Drop Close One Late
The Hosho Reliables needed 10 innings to beat the Sapporo Bears, 9-8, at Sapporo Stadium. Hank Dunham, for one, had a fine performance. He went 2 for 5 with 2 home runs and was hit by a pitch, while adding 3 RBI and scoring twice. Hosho reliever Junya Yamagata picked up the win, while Jim Jackson took the loss for Sapporo. Ryunosuke Saito closed the game out for Hosho, earning his 1st save.

The game was at a stalemate until third baseman Billy McCullough came to bat in the top of the tenth. Facing Sapporo pitcher Jim Jackson, he hit a 2-2 slider for a run-scoring single. It was a game-changer, putting Hosho on top, 9-8.

Hosho manager Shun Kawamura was pleased with the team's effort. "Our guys went out there and put good wood on the ball," he said.

The Reliables raised their record to 7-2.
