| Bears Handle Denki, Snag 5-4 Win | The Sapporo Bears finished off the Denki Dynamics, 5-4. Much of the credit belonged to left fielder Tomiyuki Kusumoto. Kusumoto was 2-4 with a home run, while adding 3 RBI and scoring once for the Bears. Sapporo is now 14-23, Denki 19-18.
With Sapporo trailing 2-1 in the top of the third, Kusumoto hit a splitter from Herm Brooks for a 3-run home run. It was his 4th home run of the season and put the Bears ahead, 4-2.
"We were the better team," crowed Kusumoto.
