Owls Drop Bears, 4-2
The Sapporo Bears went down to defeat to Norikazu Takai and his Kyoto teammates. The final score was 4-2, in favor of the Owls. The triumph puts Kyoto at 24-13 for the season.

Bungo Arai had a big 2-run home run for the Owls in the top of the third inning. With Kyoto leading 1-0 and a runner on 3rd, he got a changeup from 31-year old right-handed pitcher Masaru Ryu and swatted a home run to center. It was his 9th home run of the season, and more importantly, it put the Owls ahead, 3-0.

"I felt good even in the late innings," said Takai after the game.
