Bears Win, 7-6, Versus Yokohama
The Sapporo Bears beat the Yokohama Kingfishers, 7-6 -- though it took them 10 innings. Sapporo first baseman Masao Shiotani had a pretty good game. He was 3 for 4 with 2 doubles and a walk, while scoring 2 times. The win went to Katsumasa Hashimoto in relief, making him now 2-0. Yoisuke Nishizawa took the loss for Yokohama. The 5th-place Bears improved to 39-51.

The game-ending blow was delivered by Hiroiaki Nakazawa in the bottom of the tenth. That's when he hit a solo home run off 28-year old right-handed pitcher Yoisuke Nishizawa to win it for Sapporo and cause the home crowd to erupt in celebration.

"It wasn't a pretty victory," said Nakazawa, "but we got it done."
