Bears Score Late to Upend Kingfishers, 6-2
Yokohama got a terrific performance from pitcher Kiyoji Nakamura, but it wasn't enough to beat the Sapporo Bears. Sapporo won the Kanagawa Stadium contest, 6-2. Nakamura threw 7.0 innings of 4-hit ball for the losing team. Reliever Shinichi Kanehara picked up the win. His record improves to 6-3. Masaru Ryu took the loss. Sapporo has run its win streak to 4 consecutive.

Sukeyasu Arakawa came through with a big-time hit for Sapporo. The first baseman smacked a grand slam home run in the top of the ninth inning to give his team the lead, 6-2. It was his only hit, but it was clutch.

Sapporo manager Ritsuo Yoshida commended his team for delivering "maximum effort."
