Sapporo Beats Kyoto, 2-1
The Kyoto Owls wasted an inspired, 8.2-inning effort from starter Ukita Tomita, falling, 2-1, to the Sapporo Bears at Owls Park. The Bears go to 37-57 with the win.

Sapporo won the game in part because of Shikato Murata. The shortstop ripped a solo home run in the top of the sixth inning to put the Bears ahead, 2-1. For the game, Murata had 1 double and 1 home run in 4 at-bats.

Sapporo manager Ritsuo Yoshida commended his team for "doing what it takes to win."
