Ishii drives in 5 runs to Fuel Bears Offense
The Sapporo Bears downed the Kyoto Owls, 14-7. The hitting star was first baseman Tadami Ishii. Ishii went 2-4 with a home run and a walk, while scoring 2 times and driving in 5 for the Bears. Sapporo reliever Takashi Muraoka picked up the win, upping his record to 2-1. Kozo Miyaji took the loss. The win elevated the Bears to 23-19.

In the bottom of the seventh, Sapporo pinch hitter Naota Kodama had a productive at-bat. With the bases loaded and one out, Kodama stroked a run-scoring single to right. It made the score 8-7, Sapporo. For the game, he was 1 for 2.

"This isn't football or hockey where you can overwhelm your opponents," Kodama told the Sapporo Times. "Everyone gets 27 outs and we happened to make the most of them."
