The Kyoto Owls used a great performance from Seishiro Kikuchi, who is tied for 4th in the EL in quality starts with 8, to beat the Sapporo Bears, 2-0, at Sapporo Stadium. The winning pitcher was Kikuchi, now 6-3. He tossed 7 innings of 4-hit ball, while walking 3 and fanning 5. The setback makes Sapporo 23-20.

With Kyoto leading 1-0 in the top of the fifth, Kikuchi hit a run-scoring single off Sapporo hurler Mario de los Santos. It was the 2nd hit of the season for Kikuchi and put his team ahead, 2-0.

"We leaned on our pitching tonight," Kikuchi said.
