On Road, Kobe Beats Fukuoka, 5-1
The Kobe Bulls beat the Fukuoka Falcons, 5-1, at Fukuoka Stadium. Starting pitcher Toshitada Morino was a big reason why. He held his opponent in check all game. Morino, now 2-0, was the winner. In 7.1 innings, he gave up 4 hits, while striking out 5, walking 2, and allowing 1 run. The Bulls raised their record to 5-2.

Takaki Smith had a big 2-run home run for the Bulls in the top of the fifth inning. With Kobe leading 1-0 and a runner on 1st, he got a curveball from 27-year old right-handed pitcher Ryunosuke Saito and swatted a home run to left. It was his 2nd home run of the season, and more importantly, it put the Bulls ahead, 3-0.

Smith attributed the win to his team's "focus and intensity."
