| Bears Clip Stars, 6-5, in NCS Contest | Behind a bravura effort from starter Michiya Sasaki, the Sapporo Bears topped the Nagasaki Stars by the score of 6-5 and got their first win in the 1951 BAN Championship Series. Sasaki threw 8.1 innings of 7-hit ball for the Bears. The win moves Sapporo into a 1-1 tie with Nagasaki.
A key moment came with one out in the bottom of the seventh. That's when Sasaki hit a slider from Kiemon Matsuda for a run-scoring single, putting Sapporo up, 6-4.
"It's so much easier when you throw good pitches," said Sasaki.
Game 3 is scheduled for Sunday at Nagasaki Prefecture Stadium in Nagasaki.
