Despite a fine performance by first baseman Shunsuke Murata, the Rakisuta Rams lost to the Sapporo Bears, 7-4. Murata was 4 for 4 with a home run and 3 singles, while adding 2 RBI and scoring once. Picking up the win was Masaru Ryu. He went 8 innings, allowing 4 runs on 10 hits. The right--hander struck out 2 and walked 1. The 5th-place Bears go to 48-70.

Sapporo got a big at-bat from Hakodate, Japan native Kai Yoneda, who in the bottom of the first hit a 2-run double. It was his 12th double of the season and put the Bears ahead, 3-0.

"We'll enjoy this win," said Yoneda. "But there's more we hope to accomplish."
