Bears 4-2 Victors Over Denki
Not everyone stuck through the 40-minute rain delay, but those who did went home happy.

Sapporo Bears starter Naruki Shimada was on his game, helping his team beat the Denki Dynamics, 4-2. The winner was Shimada. He threw 7.2 innings of 5-hit ball. The loser was Tsuneari Nakai.

Tied up with the Dynamics in the bottom of the fourth inning, the Bears got a boost from second baseman Gunji Nakashima. With runners on 1st and 3rd, Nakashima saw a 0-2 slider from Tsuneari Nakai and hit a run-scoring single to break the stalemate and put Sapporo on top, 2-1.

"If I do my job, we've usually got a good chance to win the game," said Shimada.

The 5th-place Bears now have a record of 34-45.
