Big Day for Shimada in 8-5 Owls Win
The Kyoto Owls and Sapporo Bears completed their game despite the rain.

Tomonori Shimada was a vital contributor to the 8-5 Kyoto victory over Sapporo. The Owls third baseman went 2 for 3 with a home run and 2 walks, while scoring 4 times and driving in 2. Isoroku Furuta picked up the win, lifting his record to 9-9 on the season. He struck out 2 and walked 3 in 5 innings, while yielding 5 runs. The save was credited to Satsuya Shindo, his 3rd.

Kyoto used a well-timed hit by Takiji Hayashi to capture the win. The left fielder socked a 2-run double in the top of the sixth inning to put the Owls ahead, 7-5. Though it was his only hit in 4 at-bats, it was important.

"Winning is the only objective," said Shimada after the game.

The Owls are now 58-55, while the Bears fall to 65-47.
