Bears Claim Late Win
The Sapporo Bears got a rain-soaked win over the Yokohama Kingfishers.

The Sapporo Bears topped the Yokohama Kingfishers, 9-6, in Eastern League action at Kanagawa Stadium. The game was highlighted by the performance of Sapporo first baseman Tsuguto Nakamura. Senichi Soga, credited with the win in relief, is now 4-3. He allowed no runs on 1 hit in 2 innings.

Sapporo used a timely hit from Honoo Fujioka to get the win. The second baseman stroked a bases-clearing double in the top of the ninth inning to put the Bears ahead, 9-6. It was his only hit in 1 at-bat, but it was a difference-maker.

"Like I've always said, I'm the straw that stirs the drink," Nakamura said (again).

The third-place Bears are 15-11.
