Bears Hand Kyoto 5-2 Loss
Wet weather did not postpone the Sapporo-Kyoto ballgame.

The Sapporo Bears got a marvelous performance from pitcher Katsumasa Hashimoto. The left-hander kept the Kyoto offense from ever getting much traction. The result was an impressive 5-2 Sapporo victory at Sapporo Stadium. The win puts Sapporo at 11-7.

Sapporo third baseman Shingen Fukui helped the Bears go up, 3-1, in the bottom of the sixth inning. With the game tied, Fukui hit a 2-run single off Kyoto pitcher Michinaga Sekiguchi.

"Katsumasa just settled in and did what he does," said Sapporo manager Ritsuo Yoshida.
