Rams Bump Off Bears, 8-7
The Rakisuta Rams spoiled a good performance by Sapporo right fielder Subaru Nishimoto, bumping off Sapporo, 8-7, at Sapporo Stadium. Nishimoto went 3 for 4 with a triple, 2 singles, and a walk. The winning pitcher was Kisaku Arita. His record now stands at 5-6. The left-hander went 6.1 innings, allowing 4 runs on 8 hits for the Rams. The triumph puts Rakisuta at 40-34 for the season.

The Bears had been locked in a 2-2 tie with the Rams going into the top of the fourth inning. That changed quickly when the 23-year old left-handed pitcher Kisaku Arita came to the plate. Arita hit a bases-clearing double on a 1-0 fastball from Sapporo hurler Sumiteru Yoshida. It was Arita's 1st double of the year.

"I have a really good team behind me," Arita said. "I trust them 100 percent."
