Bears Win, 8-4, Versus Yokohama
Yokohama got a big-time effort from pitcher Kiyoji Nakamura, but it wasn't enough to keep the Sapporo Bears from winning the game, 8-4. Nakamura threw 8.0 innings of 4-hit ball for the losing team. Yokohama, at 4-11, is off to a poor start in 1975.

Sapporo used the timely hitting of Shingen Fukui to seize the win. The third baseman stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the ninth inning to put the Bears on top, 4-3. It was his only hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.

"I like the vibe in the clubhouse after a win," said Fukui. "It sure beats the alternative."
