The Kobe Bulls and Vesutan Bees played an entertaining game for Matsunoki Stadium patrons.

The Kobe Bulls beat the Vesutan Bees, 4-3, at Matsunoki Stadium. Kobe second baseman Shinsaku Tashiro led the way. He was 2 for 3 with a home run and a walk. The Bulls, with only their 6th win in 21 games, could be the worst team in the league.

In the bottom of the sixth inning, Shunsuke Murata contributed a big hit for the Bulls. With Kobe trailing 2-1, he hammered a solo home run.

"We put together a nice win," Murata said.
