Bulls Hand Fukuoka 5-3 Loss
Kobe pitcher Tatsuharu Oto had a large part in his team beating the Fukuoka Falcons, 5-3. The right-hander kept opposing batters in check throughout the game. Oto got the win, improving to 4-1. He gave up 6 hits and walked 2 over 9 innings. He allowed 3 runs. The win puts Kobe at 15-10.

Kobe used a clutch at-bat from Oscar Abbott to capture the win. The left fielder hammered a 3-run home run in the top of the sixth inning to put the Bulls ahead, 5-0. It was his lone hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a humdinger.

Abbott called the win "an overall solid one."
