Bulls Absorb 7-2 Loss at Fukuoka Stadium
Vesutan starter Kiichi Takahashi pitched well against the Kobe Bulls at Fukuoka Stadium. The left-hander led his team to a win, 7-2. Takahashi, now 1-0, was the winner. In 7.2 innings, he gave up 7 hits, while striking out 9, walking 2, and allowing 2 runs. The loss drops Kobe to 2-2.

Vesutan center fielder Tomeo Okinaka contributed a timely at-bat in the bottom of the first. With two down, he hit a changeup to right field for a 2-run single. It was his 5th hit of the season and put the Bees ahead, 2-0.

"We understand we didn't play our best baseball," said losing manager Joe Davis. "We'll shower it off and be ready to compete."
