Sapporo Rallies to 3-1 Win
Rakisuta Stadium was the site of a tense game between the Rakisuta Rams and Sapporo Bears.

The Sapporo Bears picked up a win at Rakisuta Stadium, topping the Rakisuta Rams, 3-1. On the mound for Sapporo was right-hander Masaru Ryu. He played a principal role in the triumph. Eisaku Yamaoka was credited with the save, his 22nd in 29 tries.

Sapporo used the timely hitting of Yoshinari Akamine to seize the win. The first baseman stroked a 2-run single in the top of the eighth inning to put the Bears on top, 3-1. It was his only hit in 3 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.

Akamine called it "a solid win."

The defeat makes Rakisuta 64-70.
