| 5 Straight Wins for Bears | The Sapporo Bears defeated the Denki Dynamics, 5-3, at Kanda Stadium. Tomiyuki Kusumoto, who is tied for 8th in the EL with a .377 on-base percentage, was a standout performer for Sapporo. His 4 hits included 1 single and 3 doubles -- this in addition to the 2 runs he scored and 1 he knocked in. The 5th-place Bears have won 5 in a row.
Early in the game, Kusumoto had a run-scoring double for Sapporo. It was his 14th double of the season and put the Bears on top, 1-0.
"I was just going up there trying to see good pitches, that was about it," said Kusumoto.
