Rakisuta Downed, 5-4, by Bears
The Sapporo Bears beat the Rakisuta Rams, 5-4. Sapporo pitcher and Fukuoka, Japan, native Naruki Shimada led the way. Sapporo reliever Tadahiko Nakashima picked up the win, raising his record to 1-0. Sadatake Suzuki was tagged with the loss. Sapporo is 49-69 and Rakisuta, with the loss, 57-62.

Sapporo took a 5-4 lead on Tomiyuki Kusumoto's 18th double of the season. The run-scoring double, which Kusumoto hit in the top of the tenth, left Rakisuta pitcher Sadatake Suzuki visibly frustrated.

"Naruki gets tougher when he has to, makes a big pitch when he has to," said Sapporo skipper Ritsuo Yoshida.
