Rams Come Up Short at Sapporo, 2-1
Sapporo Bears starter Naruki Shimada turned in a top-notch performance against the Rakisuta Rams at Sapporo Stadium. The result was a win for the Bears, 2-1. Shimada yielded 1 run over 7 innings to notch the win. He scattered 5 hits, walked 2, and struck out 4. His record improves to 3-0. Shinichi Kanehara wrapped it up, recording his 3rd save.

With scoring opportunities rare, the Bears had to cash in when they had the chance. One such opportunity presented itself in the bottom of the second, when third baseman Kai Yoneda hit a run-scoring single. The single came off Kinichi Harada and made the score 2-1, Bears. Yoneda was 2 for 4 with a double.

Shimada attributed the win to his team's "hyper resolve."

Rakisuta is now 6-6.
