Bears Continue Skid, Thanks to Arai, Owls
The Kyoto Owls topped the Sapporo Bears, 8-6, in Eastern League action at Sapporo Stadium. The game was highlighted by the performance of Kyoto shortstop Bungo Arai. The win puts the Owls at 54-41, while the Bears drop to 40-56.

A defensive lapse proved costly in the contest. In the top of the seventh, with the game tied, Tomoshi Manabe was at the plate when Kyoto scored 1 on an error. The miscue enabled the Owls to go in front, 6-5.

"Every time you put a 'W' on the board is always good," said Arai.
