Owls 8-2 Victors Over Sapporo
The Kyoto Owls topped the Sapporo Bears by a score of 8-2. Leading the way was shortstop Bungo Arai. Arai hit 2 home runs, while adding 3 RBI and scoring twice for the Owls. The victory makes Kyoto 11-9.

Minehiro Smith had a big run-scoring triple for the Owls in the top of the first inning. With Kyoto leading 1-0 and a runner on 2nd, he got a cutter from Yoshifumi Kuramoto, who is tied for 6th in the EL in quality starts with 3, and swatted a triple to right-center. It was his 1st triple of the season, and more importantly, it put the Owls ahead, 2-0.

"We were firing on all cylinders," said Owls manager Tomoya Nagao.
