| Bears Win at Denki, 6-1 | Sapporo Bears starter Yoshifumi Kuramoto led his team to victory over the Denki Dynamics, 6-1. The right-hander was locked-in. Kuramoto, the winner, moves to 5-12. He threw 7 innings of 3-hit ball, while fanning 2 and giving up 4 walks. The 5th-place Bears have won 4 straight games.
Sapporo used a clutch at-bat from Sukeyasu Arakawa to capture the win. The catcher hammered a 2-run home run in the top of the fifth inning to put the Bears ahead, 2-1. It was his lone hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a humdinger.
"We didn't play well enough to win," said Denki skipper Carl Johnson. | |
