Bears Raise Rally Flag, Beat Yokohama, 4-3
Sapporo registered a win at Sapporo Stadium by beating the Yokohama Kingfishers, 4-3. Pitcher Arata Komatsu was one reason why the Bears triumphed. The winner was Sapporo reliever Senichi Soga, now 2-3. The loser was Matsuta Mori. With the win, Sapporo pushed its record to 56-52.

Sapporo got a knockout punch from Subaru Nishimoto. The first baseman hammered a solo home run in the bottom of the ninth inning to win the game. It might've been his only hit, but it decided the outcome.

"Arata is a tough competitor," said Sapporo manager Kenjiro Hirata.
