A jubilant Sukeyasu Arakawa joined the postgame press conference at Sapporo Stadium to offer some unusual words of encouragement -- for the Denki Dynamics pitching staff he had just vanquished.

"It may not have looked like it," said the Sapporo Bears catcher, "but I saw some awful good pitches today. If luck hadn't been on my side it might have turned out a lot different."

That would not have been the conclusion of anyone who saw his dominant 5-for-6 hitting performance, which led to the 20-0 Bears win.

"He made it look easy," said Carl Johnson, manager of the Dynamics. "We never figured out what to do with him. Obviously."

Sukeyasu Arakawa singled in the 3rd, hit a three-run home run off Tekkan Mihara in the 4th, hit a solo-shot off Hisao Ibe in the 5th, hit a three-run home run off Hisao Ibe in the 6th, hit an RBI single in the 7th and grounded out in the 8th.

This season, Arakawa is batting .247 with 13 home runs. He has scored 34 runs and driven in 38.
