Bears Winners, 5-4, Over Owls
Eager fans turned out for a matchup between the Sapporo Bears and Kyoto Owls.

The Sapporo Bears dealt the Kyoto Owls a 5-4 loss at Owls Park. Subaru Nishimoto, who finished 5th in the EL in stolen bases with 12 in 1957, was 3-4 with a home run, a double, and was hit by a pitch, while adding 2 RBI and scoring once. Sapporo pitcher Senichi Soga got the win. He's now 6-3. Toshimasa Kobayashi was tagged with the loss.

Nishimoto had a game-changing double in the top of the ninth. On a 2-2 slider from Toshimasa Kobayashi, he banged a run-scoring double to right, giving the Bears a 5-4 lead. It was the 14th double of the year for Nishimoto.

"I put some good swings on the ball," said Nishimoto.

Sapporo now has a record of 29-17 with the win.
