Bears Slip Past Kyoto, 8-7
The game between Sapporo and Kyoto is in the books, despite a little rain.

At Sapporo Stadium, the Sapporo Bears edged the Kyoto Owls, 8-7, in 12 innings. Sapporo first baseman Yoshinari Akamine, who jolted 1 home run, was a key contributor. The Bears have a winning streak of 5 games.

The game was still up for grabs in the bottom of the 12th. With two out, Akamine hit a fastball from Hisaaki Sakamoto for a solo home run. The Bears, in dramatic fashion, had a walk-off win.

"We earned that one," said Akamine.
