Kingfishers Thrash Bears, 12-2
Yokohama left fielder Yonekichi Okazaki played a vital role in his team's 12-2 conquest of Sapporo. He went 3 for 3 with 2 doubles and a walk, while scoring 2 and driving in 2 for Yokohama. Picking up the win was Toshinori Osada. He went 8 innings, allowing 2 runs on 7 hits. The left--hander struck out 4 and walked 0. Sapporo, at 32-50, has lost 4 straight.

With Yokohama leading 2-0 in the top of the fourth, Okazaki hit a slider from Tomochika Takada for a 2-run double. It was his 13th double of the season and put the Kingfishers ahead, 4-0.

Sapporo manager Earl Higgins called the blowout loss "ugly."
