Rams Lose as Bears Stage Late Rally | Sapporo Bears starter Seikichi Nagamatsu was locked-in. He led his team to a win over the Rakisuta Rams, 8-2. Nagamatsu, the winner, moves to 8-3. He threw 9 innings of 4-hit ball, while fanning 3 and giving up 3 walks. Sapporo goes to 52-39, Rakisuta to 48-42.
Sapporo used the timely hitting of Michihiko Ishikawa to seize the win. The shortstop stroked a 2-run single in the top of the eighth inning to put the Bears on top, 5-2. It was his only hit in 3 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.
"It always feels good to go the distance," Nagamatsu said. | |
