| Bears Victorious at Kyoto, 4-2 | Sapporo starter Takushi Wada pitched well against the Kyoto Owls at Owls Park. The right-hander led his team to a win, 4-2. The winning pitcher was Wada, now 5-2. He tossed 7.1 innings of 4-hit ball, while walking 3 and fanning 8. The current losing streak for Kyoto has reached 4 games.
The result might have been different, had it not been for 24-year old center fielder Ryunosuke Onishi. Onishi had a run-scoring double in the top of the seventh inning to put the Bears ahead, 2-1. For the game, Onishi had 1 double and 1 single in 4 at-bats.
"Really good pitchers have that ability to raise their game when they need to," said Sapporo manager Kenjiro Hirata.
