Tanaka Stars in 9-4 Bulls Win
Fans were not deterred by the threat of rain. They came to see their hometown Kobe Bulls take on the Kinboshi Kites.

The 9-4 Kobe win over Kinboshi was due in large part to Atsushi Tanaka. The Bulls shortstop went 3 for 3 with a home run, 2 singles, and a walk. He scored 3 runs and drove in 2. Kobe goes to 9-10.

Making an impact for Kobe was first baseman Shissho Inoue. Junkyard drilled a run-scoring double off Gene Walker in the bottom of the first. For the game, Inoue went 2-4 with a double. He drove in 2 runs and scored once.

"Getting a lot of baserunners and getting some timely hits, it's a good combination," said Inoue.
