Bulls Nip Falcons, 7-6
Despite a great performance by Fukuoka shortstop Yoringa Ueda, the Kobe Bulls defeated the Falcons by the score of 7-6 at Fukuoka Stadium. Ueda went 3-4 with a home run and 2 singles, while scoring 2 and driving in 2. Picking up the win was Kiyomitsu Wada. He went 7.2 innings, allowing 3 runs on 10 hits. The right--hander struck out 5 and walked 0. Shiroku Terada recorded his 3rd save for Kobe.

The Bulls got a big hit from center fielder Andy Nevill. Facing Fukuoka pitcher Rei Suga in the top of the seventh, Nevill pounded a 2-run home run to left. His 1st home run of the season put the Bulls ahead, 7-1.

"If we keep winning the close games," Nevill said, "we'll be in good shape at the end."

Fukuoka falls to 6-2.
