Owls Rally Late to Nip Bears
The rain came, as predicted, but the Kyoto Owls and Sapporo Bears were able to complete their ballgame.

Good production from second baseman John McDonald helped the Kyoto Owls topple the Sapporo Bears, 5-4. McDonald went 4-4 with 2 doubles, 2 singles, and a walk, while adding 2 RBI and scoring once for the Owls. Naizen Sano snagged the win in relief. The left-hander allowed no runs on no hits over 2 innings. He's now 3-4 on the season.

Tadao Hasegawa came through with a big-time hit for Kyoto. The catcher smacked a solo home run in the top of the ninth inning to give his team the lead, 5-4. It was his only hit, but it was clutch.

"We ground out the win," said McDonald. "That's all that matters."

Kyoto now has a record of 38-36 with the win.
