Owls Continue Hot Start to Season With Win
The rain did not keep Kyoto and Sapporo from finishing their game.

Kyoto Owls starter Kento Okada pitched his team past the Sapporo Bears, 6-2. In 6 innings, Okada surrendered 4 hits, while striking out 4 and walking 1. He allowed 1 run.

The Owls got a big hit from left fielder Shun Smith. Facing Sapporo pitcher Yamada Yamanaka in the top of the sixth, Smith pounded a solo home run to left. His 7th home run of the season put the Owls ahead, 3-1.

"I play this game for myself and my family, but of course it's always nice when we can win," said Smith.

With the win, the Owls improved to 23-12.
