Bears Capture Close Win
Mario de los Santos, who is tied for 4th in the EL with a 7.5 K/9 rate, never let the Reliables get in a groove. The right-hander used his bread and butter, his fastball, to pitch the Bears to a win, 1-0. The winner was Senichi Soga in relief. His record improves to 1-1. Kinichi Ota took the loss. The win lifted the Sapporo record to 17-16.

Sapporo got a knockout punch from Tetsuya Tanaka. The left fielder hammered a solo home run in the bottom of the ninth inning to win the game. It might've been his only hit, but it decided the outcome.

"This place went bonkers at the end," de los Santos said.
