Kingfishers Lose, 6-4, as Bears Rally
The Sapporo Bears beat the Yokohama Kingfishers, 6-4, at Kanagawa Stadium. Sapporo catcher Shinichi Takahashi led the way. He was 2 for 3 with a home run and a walk, while adding 4 RBI and scoring once. Earning his 11th save of the year was Senichi Soga. The Bears bumped their record to 22-18 with this latest triumph.

Takahashi had a game-changing home run in the top of the eighth. On a 0-2 fastball from Toshinori Osada, he banged a grand slam home run to left-center, giving the Bears a 5-1 lead. It was the 5th home run of the year for Takahashi.

"Enjoyed this one," Takahashi told the Sapporo Times. "But it's back to work tomorrow."
