Bears Fall Short, 3-2, at Hosho
The Sapporo Bears and Hosho Reliables provided some drama for the home crowd.

In a tight tilt between the Hosho Reliables and the Sapporo Bears, Takamichi Smith was the deciding factor. The Hosho right-hander spearheaded the 3-2 win. Smith, the winner, moves to 4-7. He threw 7 innings of 2-hit ball, while fanning 4 and giving up 2 walks. Kinichi Ota earned his 7th save in 11 chances.

Kikaku Hamasaki had a critical at-bat with two out in the bottom of the sixth for Hosho. He came through with a run-scoring single to put Hosho in front, 3-0.

"Every loss stings," said Sapporo manager Kenjiro Hirata. "This one is no exception."

The second-place Reliables sport a record of 44-31.
