Bears Rally Late to Nip Owls
The Sapporo Bears and Kyoto Owls lit up the scoreboard.

The Sapporo Bears powered past the Kyoto Owls, 12-11, at Owls Park. Hidetsugu Yoshida was 1 for 1 with a home run. He drove in 3 runs and scored once, to lead the charge. The win was credited to 12-year veteran Washi Shibata in relief. His record improves to 2-1. Kuniaki Usui took the loss. Senichi Soga collected his 15th save.

Yoshida contributed a big hit, a 3-run home run, for Sapporo in the top of the ninth. With his team trailing 11-9, Yoshida took a fastball from Kuniaki Usui and stroked the home run to left. His 6th home run of the season allowed the Bears to leap in front, 12-11.

"Ugly win or not, we'll take it," said Yoshida.

Sapporo is now 43-56, Kyoto 51-52.
