Bears Roll to 8-3 Win Over Reliables
Getting a good performance from second baseman Torai Yamamoto, the Sapporo Bears defeated the Hosho Reliables, 8-3. Yamamoto was 4 for 4 with 4 singles, while adding 2 RBI for the Bears. With the win, the Bears hiked their record to 46-42.

Michihiko Ishikawa had a big 2-run home run for the Bears in the bottom of the third inning. With Sapporo leading 2-0 and a runner on 2nd, he sized up a sinker from Niou Nagao, who is tied for 8th in the EL in complete games with 3, and punished it. The result was his 5th home run of the season, which put the Bears on top, 4-0.

"It was our day today," Ishikawa told the Sapporo Times. "But we've got to keep our nose to the grindstone."
