Hosho Dispatched, 9-7, by Sapporo
The 9-7 Sapporo win over Hosho was due largely to Shikato Murata. The Bears shortstop was 3-5 with a home run and a double. He scored 3 times. The 5th-place Bears go to 27-42.

In the bottom of the third, Kenichi Hotta delivered a clutch hit. With two gone and runners on 2nd and 3rd, the Sapporo right fielder hit a 2-run single, putting the Bears in front, 9-7.

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