Bears Lose, 5-0, at Owls Park | The game between Kyoto and Sapporo is in the books, despite a little rain.
Kyoto turned a good effort from starter Toshimasa Kobayashi into a win over the Sapporo Bears at Owls Park. The final score was 5-0. In 8.2 innings, Kobayashi surrendered 5 hits, while striking out 3 and walking 4. He allowed no runs.
Kyoto took a 5-0 lead on Naonobu Nishio's 11th double of the season. The bases-clearing double, which Nishio hit in the bottom of the eighth, left Sapporo pitcher Takashi Muraoka visibly frustrated.
"I felt good. I felt like I was locating the ball well and I was able to keep them off-balance," said Kobayashi.
Kyoto has now won 3 in a row. | |
