Yokohama Stopped, 3-2, by Sapporo
The Sapporo Bears and Yokohama Kingfishers played an exciting game.

Yamada Yamanaka, who finished 3rd in the EL in innings pitched with 211.2 in 1963, had a strong outing for the Sapporo Bears against the Yokohama Kingfishers at Kanagawa Stadium. The right-hander was a big part of his team's 3-2 win. Yamanaka picked up the win for Sapporo, going 7 innings. He gave up 2 runs on 6 hits. He now sports a record of 7-5.

Sapporo used a clutch at-bat from Tomiyuki Kusumoto to capture the win. The left fielder hammered a 2-run home run in the top of the first inning to put the Bears ahead, 2-0. It was his lone hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a humdinger.

"I'm proud to be a part of what we've got going on here," Yamanaka told the Sapporo Gazette. "It's a great group and we're happy with the win."

By defeating Yokohama, the 5th-place Bears improved to 31-44.
