The Kobe Bulls faced a tough opponent in Vesutan pitcher Niou Nagao, but still scratched out a win at Matsunoki Stadium by a final score of 4-3 in 14 innings. Nagao went 7.1 innings and allowed 1 run. The win was credited to Shiroku Terada in relief. His record improves to 1-0. Kiyoshi Inouye took the loss. Vesutan now is 12-10.

The decisive blow was delivered by Toshitake Amano in the bottom of the 14th when he hit a run-scoring double off 26-year old right-handed pitcher Kiyoshi Inouye to win the game for Kobe. The home crowd went nuts.

"Great to get the crowd on its feet," Amano said.
