Owls, Yoshida Pin Bad Loss on Bears
Eager fans turned out for a matchup between the Kyoto Owls and Sapporo Bears.

The Kyoto Owls stopped the Sapporo Bears, 12-1, at Sapporo Stadium. The Owls got a big game from Yutaka Yoshida, who was 2-3 with 2 singles and 3 walks. He scored 3 times and drove in 3. Toshimasa Kobayashi got the win, improving to 10-10. He held the Bears to 1 run on 3 hits over 9 innings, while striking out 7 and walking 3.

The Bears had been locked in a 0-0 tie with the Owls going into the top of the second inning. That changed quickly when the two-time All-Star Toshimasa Kobayashi came to the plate. Kobayashi hit a 2-run triple on a 2-2 slider from Sapporo hurler Takashi Muraoka. It was Kobayashi's 1st triple of the year.

"I keep on showing up every day and trying to put up good at-bats and find good pitches to hit," said Yoshida.

The victory gives Kyoto a record of 60-59.
