Owls Win BAN Championship Series
This is the time of the baseball season when grown men are reduced to tears. This year, the Kyoto Owls were shedding tears of joy and the Kobe Bulls those of sorrow.

The Owls topped the Bulls today 7-3 at Matsunoki Stadium and locked up their 2nd Baseball Association of Nippon BAN Championship Series championship, winning the series 4-2.

"To come this far and leave empty-handed is not easy," said Kobe manager Shojiro Tasaka.

The Owls finished the regular season in the Eastern League with a 84-56 record, ending up in first place in the division standings.
