Bears Get Dramatic 6-5 Win
Bears left fielder Koji Osawa left his imprint on his team's 6-5 win over the Rakisuta Rams. Osawa went 3 for 4 with 3 singles. He drove in 2 runs for Sapporo in the contest. Washi Shibata, now 2-1, was credited with the win in 1 innings of relief. He allowed no runs on 1 hit, while striking out 2 and walking 0. The Bears now have a record of 33-20.

The clutch at-bat in the bottom of the ninth belonged to Osawa. Facing Yoriyuki Nagashima with the bases loaded, the Sapporo left fielder had a run-scoring sacrifice fly. Game over, walk-off style!

"The fans went nuts at the end," Osawa said.
