Bears Turn Back Kingfishers, 4-2
Sapporo Bears starter Naruki Shimada found his groove in his team's 4-2 win over the Yokohama Kingfishers. Yukinobu Nobuhara finished the game for Sapporo and earned his 3rd save. The Bears, at 18-26, inhabit 5th place in the Eastern League.

Sapporo took a 4-2 lead on Shikato Murata's 4th home run of the season. The solo home run, which Murata hit in the top of the seventh, left Yokohama pitcher Munenao Shintani visibly frustrated.

Shimada told the Sapporo Citizen: "Sometimes the big stage is not big enough for me."
