The skies opened up and the rain fell at Sapporo Stadium.

The Sapporo Bears besoiled an otherwise fine performance by Yokohama left fielder Masanori Takagi by beating the Kingfishers, 9-4, at Sapporo Stadium. Takagi was 4-5 with 4 singles. He drove in 3 runs. With the win, Sapporo goes to 12-20, while the Kingfishers fall to 12-20.

With Sapporo leading 1-0 in the bottom of the first, Gunji Nakashima hit a 2-run single off Yokohama pitcher Meguru Kanda. It put the Bears ahead 3-0.

"I'm trying to keep it simple," said Nakashima. "Just do my job."
