Bulls Slip Past Sailors, 8-6
The Kobe Bulls and Osaka Sailors duked it out at Kotei Stadium.

The Kobe Bulls outlasted Tetsushou Kobayashi and the Osaka Sailors, 8-6, in 15 innings. Kobayashi was impressive in the loss. The Osaka pitcher threw 9.0 innings of 6-hit ball. Kobe has a record of 17-11.

Kobe used the timely hitting of Yasumasa Yamazaki to seize the win. The catcher stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the 15th inning to put the Bulls on top, 6-5. It was his only hit in 2 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.

"We didn't let this one get away," said Yamazaki.
