Kingfishers Get 8-1 Win Versus Sapporo
Sapporo Stadium was the site for Eastern League action featuring the Sapporo Bears and Yokohama Kingfishers.

The Yokohama Kingfishers picked up a win at Sapporo Stadium, knocking off the Sapporo Bears, 8-1. On the mound for Yokohama was left-hander Motokazu Oyama. He played a key role in the triumph. Yokohama currently is in last place in the Eastern League at 34-55.

Bibb Martin had a big 2-run home run for the Kingfishers in the top of the third inning. With Yokohama leading 1-0 and a runner on 1st, he sized up a fastball from 31-year old right-handed pitcher Masaru Ryu and punished it. The result was his 12th home run of the season, which put the Kingfishers on top, 3-0.

"We'll enjoy this win," said Martin. "But there's more we hope to accomplish."
