Bears Net 10-4 Win Over Dynamics
Soggy conditions did not keep Sapporo and Denki from playing their scheduled game.

The Sapporo Bears beat the Denki Dynamics, 10-4, at Kanda Stadium. The win was due in part to center fielder Hidetsugu Yoshida, who went 2-4 with a home run and a walk, while scoring 3. Tomochika Takada got the win, improving to 4-1. He pitched 9 innings, giving up 10 hits and 4 runs, while striking out 5 and walking 0.

Subaru Nishimoto had a big solo home run for the Bears in the top of the fourth inning. With Sapporo leading 1-0 and the bases empty, he sized up a fastball from 24-year old right-handed pitcher Tom Hodges and punished it. The result was his 7th home run of the season, which put the Bears on top, 2-0.

"We're stringing together some nice wins," said Sapporo manager Earl Higgins.

The defeat makes Denki 7-16.
