Yamamoto goes 4-for-5 in Bears Win
Sapporo second baseman Torai Yamamoto had a 5-RBI game, leading his team in its 7-4 defeat of the Yokohama Kingfishers. Yamamoto picked up 3 singles and 1 double in the ballgame. Tomochika Takada, the winning pitcher, is now 7-1. He went 6 innings, allowing 4 runs on 7 hits, while fanning 3 and walking 6. The winning continues for Sapporo, with the latest triumph making it 7 straight.

The game turned with two out in the bottom of the fourth. That's when Yamamoto hit a bases-clearing double off Shigeyasu Hirayama. It propelled the Bears into the lead, 5-2.

"Hitting, winning. It's just contagious," said Yamamoto.
