Bears Topple Kingfishers, 11-4, as Nishimoto Shines
The Sapporo Bears defeated the Yokohama Kingfishers, 11-4. Doing his part was first baseman Subaru Nishimoto, who went 4 for 5 with a home run and 2 doubles. He scored 3 runs and drove in 2. Takushi Wada got credit for the win, improving to 6-3. He allowed 2 runs on 5 hits in 7 innings. With the win over Yokohama, the Bears improved to 34-30.

Sapporo used a well-timed hit by Kohsuke Takayama to capture the win. The third baseman socked a run-scoring double in the top of the sixth inning to put the Bears ahead, 3-2. Though it was his only hit in 5 at-bats, it was important.

"I was just going up there trying to see good pitches, that was about it," said Nishimoto.
