| Fukuoka Wins, 4-3, Over Bulls | Kobe got a terrific game from shortstop Atsushi Tanaka. It wasn't enough, though, to prevent the team from falling to Fukuoka, 4-3. Tanaka went 4 for 5 with a home run and 3 singles, while scoring 2 runs and driving in 2. Fukuoka reliever Yuushuu Nakata got the win, raising his record to 1-0. Kiyomitsu Wada was tagged with the loss. The defeat makes Kobe 11-12.
Jotaro Murakami was the walk-off hero for Fukuoka. With the game tied in the bottom of the ninth inning, the Falcons third baseman hit a dramatic run-scoring single to send the teams home.
"I'll probably toss and turn tonight," Kobe manager Joe Davis said, following the tough loss.
