Bears Trip Dynamics, 9-2
The Sapporo Bears outclassed the Denki Dynamics, 9-2, at Sapporo Stadium. Masuami Smith, who finished 5th in the EL in batting average with .317 in 1951, was a major contributor for Sapporo. Smith went 2-3 with a home run and a walk, while scoring 2 and driving in 3. Sapporo is now 27-17, Denki 13-28.

The Dynamics had been locked in a 1-1 tie with the Bears going into the bottom of the fourth inning. That changed quickly when the fan favorite Koji Osawa came to the plate. Osawa hit a 3-run home run on a 2-1 cutter from Denki hurler Kimihiko Mori. It was Osawa's 7th home run of the year.

"If we play well, we'll win our share of games," said Smith. "The only team that can beat us is us."
