Kuma Capture Close Win
The Kumamoto Kuma picked up a win at Kuma Stadium, knocking off the Iga Shinobi, 5-4, in 10 innings. Starting pitcher Tokutomi Sakai played a key role in the triumph. Reliever Harry Kane picked up the win. His record improves to 3-3. Nagahisa Naito, who leads the SL with a 7.4 K/9 rate, took the loss. The 6th-place Shinobi dropped to 45-44.

The Kuma relied on center fielder Makoto Yuki for the game-winning hit. And, in the bottom of the tenth, he delivered, hitting a run-scoring single to seal the deal.

Kumamoto manager Plinio Cortez praised his team's "businesslike approach."
