Bears Continue Skid, Thanks to Nitta, Reliables
Soggy conditions did not keep Hosho and Sapporo from playing their scheduled game.

Led by Samba Nitta, the Hosho Reliables downed the Sapporo Bears, 12-3. Nitta went 2-4 with 2 home runs and a walk, while adding 4 RBI and scoring twice for the Reliables. Haruo Kawamoto, now 1-0, picked up the win in relief. He allowed 2 runs on 4 hits in 3.1 innings.

Hosho used a clutch at-bat from Yukio Watanabe to capture the win. The first baseman hammered a 3-run home run in the top of the first inning to put the Reliables ahead, 3-0. It was his lone hit in 5 at-bats, but it was a humdinger.

"We hit the ball on the barrel," said Hosho manager Shun Kawamura.

The Bears, at 28-41, have lost 4 in a row.
