Bears Pull Out Late-Game Win, 3-2 | In a low-scoring affair between the Sapporo Bears and the Hosho Reliables, pitcher Takushi Wada was the difference between victory and defeat. The Sapporo right-hander earned accolades for his stellar performance in the 3-2 Bears win. The win elevated the Bears to 53-48.
Ryunosuke Onishi helped the cause in the top of the eighth. With a runner on 1st, he hit a double. His at-bat contributed to the Sapporo win.
"Sometimes a win comes easy," Wada told the Sapporo Times. "And sometimes you have to scratch and claw." | |
