Though the conditions were not ideal, the Sapporo Bears and Kyoto Owls came back from a rain delay to finish their game.

The Sapporo Bears picked up a win at Owls Park, downing the Kyoto Owls, 4-3. On the mound for Sapporo was right-hander Masaru Ryu, who played a pivotal role in the win. The 5th-place Bears hiked their record to 35-47.

Sapporo used the hitting of Hiroiaki Nakazawa to pick up the win. The catcher clubbed a 2-run home run in the top of the second inning to put the Bears on top, 2-0. For the game, Nakazawa had 1 home run and 1 single in 4 at-bats.

"We put it together and came out with the win," Ryu said in postgame remarks. "That's the main thing."
