Rams Score Late, Stun Bears, 3-2
Starting pitcher Masakado Matsuda had a solid game. He was a big reason the Rakisuta Rams throttled the Sapporo Bears, 3-2. With the win, Rakisuta raised its record to 54-40.

The game was decided with one out in the bottom of the ninth. With Rakisuta trailing 2-1, Sukeichi Onodera hit a fastball from Senichi Soga to center for a 2-run single. Just like that, the Rams had a walk-off win.

"We busted our tails," said Sapporo manager Earl Higgins. "But we came up short."
