Bulls Popped by Falcons, 7-4
Kobe got a terrific game from second baseman Shinsaku Tashiro. It wasn't enough, though, to prevent the team from falling to Fukuoka, 7-4. Tashiro went 3-4 with a home run, 2 singles, and was hit by a pitch, while adding 4 RBI and scoring once. The winning pitcher was Norito Yamazaki. He's now 2-0. He went 6.1 innings, allowing 2 runs on 8 hits for the Falcons. Fukuoka goes to 4-4.

Harl Smith had a big 2-run home run for the Falcons in the top of the first inning. With Fukuoka leading 2-0 and a runner on 1st, he sized up a fastball from 26-year old right-handed pitcher Toshitada Morino and punished it. The result was his 1st home run of the season, which put the Falcons on top, 4-0.

"We take it day by day here," said Smith, "and today was a good one for us."
