Kinboshi Bats Silenced by Oto
Tatsuharu Oto kept the opposition off the scoreboard and the Kobe Bulls were all smiles after winning, 3-0, against the Kinboshi Kites at Konohana Stadium. The right-handed Oto gave up no runs in his start, permitted 7 hits, and tallied 5 strikeouts.

"If there was a stat for 'team shutout,' this would be it," Oto said later. "My catcher called a great game, guys delivered at the plate and when I messed something up the guys behind me were where they needed to be."
