We find evidence for the semileptonic baryonic decay B-→pp¯ℓ-ν¯ℓ (ℓ=e, μ), based on a data sample of 772 million BB¯ pairs collected at the Υ(4S) resonance with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy electron-positron collider. A neural-network based hadronic B-meson tagging method is used in this study. The branching fraction of B-→pp¯ℓ-ν¯ℓ is measured to be (5.8+2.4-2.1(stat)±0.9(syst))×10-6 with a significance of 3.2σ, where lepton universality is assumed. We also estimate the corresponding upper limit: B(B-→pp¯ℓ-ν¯ℓ)<9.6×10-6 at the 90% confidence level. This measurement helps constrain the baryonic transition form factor in B decays
