Bears Continue Skid, Thanks to Nomura, Rams
The Rakisuta Rams polished off the Sapporo Bears by the score of 6-2. The largest share of the credit belonged to shortstop Hideharu Nomura. Nomura was 3-3 with a home run, a triple, and a walk, while scoring 2 times and driving in 3 for the Rams. The win puts Rakisuta at 17-11.

Kuranosuke Imakake went 1-4, while adding 2 RBI for Rakisuta. The 32-year old catcher had a key at-bat in the bottom of the fourth. With one out and runners on 1st and 2nd, he broke a 0-0 tie with a run-scoring single off Yoshifumi Kuramoto. It was his 19th hit of the season.

"I know everybody in here is putting in the work," said Sapporo manager Ritsuo Yoshida. "It's just not paying off."
