Owls Use Late-Game Magic to Beat Bears, 6-3
Kyoto rode a decent outing from starter Dan Rivard to victory over the Sapporo Bears. The final score was 6-3. Rivard got the win, improving to 11-11. He allowed 7 hits and walked 4 over 9 innings. Rivard allowed 3 runs. The Eastern League-leading Owls have a record of 51-42.

Kyoto used a clutch hit from Ikuhiko Murata to get the win. The catcher drilled a 2-run home run in the top of the eighth inning to put the Owls ahead, 4-3. It was his only hit in 3 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.

"It was a solid team effort and we'll try to keep this momentum going," Murata told reporters after the game.
