Bears Win 8-7 Walk-Off
Despite a fine performance by third baseman Tomonori Shimada, the Kyoto Owls lost to the Sapporo Bears, 8-7. Shimada was 2-4 with a home run, a double, and a walk. He drove in 6 runs and scored once. Senichi Soga snagged the win in relief. The left-hander allowed 1 run on 1 hit over 2 innings. He's now 5-3 on the season. The slumping Owls have lost 6 straight.

Kohsuke Takayama was the walk-off hero for Sapporo. With the game tied in the bottom of the ninth inning, the Bears third baseman hit a dramatic run-scoring single to send the teams home.

Takayama called winning a team effort. "It's not the same guy every time," he said. "It's the sum of the parts."
