Bears Win at Home, 4-1
The Sapporo Bears got a marvelous performance from pitcher Seikichi Nagamatsu. The right-hander kept the Denki offense from ever getting much traction. The result was an impressive 4-1 Sapporo victory at Sapporo Stadium. The Dynamics, now 6-15, continue their inauspicious start.

Ryunosuke Onishi, who is tied for 9th in the EL in doubles with 4, took Denki hurler Tom Hodges deep in the bottom of the sixth. His solo home run put the Bears on top, 2-1. In all, Onishi had 1 single in addition to the home run, while going 2 for 4.

"Seikichi pounded the strike zone and made good pitches when he needed to," said Sapporo manager Kenjiro Hirata.
