Bears Fall Short at Yokohama, 7-6
Benefiting from Thoki Kaneshige's productive game, the Yokohama Kingfishers downed the Sapporo Bears, 7-6. Kaneshige was 2 for 3 with a home run and 2 walks. He scored 2 runs for the Kingfishers. The winner in relief was Yoisuke Nishizawa. The right-hander allowed 2 runs on 5 hits in 2 innings. He now owns a record of 2-0. The Bears are now 5-10 this season.

Fujimaro Sonoda was the walk-off hero for Yokohama. With the game tied in the bottom of the ninth inning, the Kingfishers third baseman hit a dramatic run-scoring single to send the teams home.

"Winning in the last at-bat, there's nothing else like it," said Kaneshige.
