Yokohama picked up a win at Sapporo Stadium, bumping off the Sapporo Bears, 6-4. Pitcher Masatoshi Sakai was a major reason the Kingfishers emerged victorious. In 9 innings, Sakai surrendered 9 hits, while striking out 8 and walking 2. He allowed 4 runs. After today's action, Yokohama sits at 59-66, while Sapporo falls to 70-51.

Yokohama grabbed control in the top of the sixth. With no one out and runners on 1st and 2nd, Midori Kobayashi delivered a run-scoring single, to make it 4-3, in favor of the Kingfishers.

"Masatoshi's good," said Yokohama manager Tommy McDonell. "What he brings, the fire, is really, really important."
