Osaki Excels in 7-3 Kobe Win
The Kobe Bulls dumped the Nagasaki Stars, 7-3, in large part due to third baseman Masu Osaki. On the day, Osaki was 3 for 4 with a home run and a double. He scored 2 runs and drove in 3 for the Bulls. Kakuya Izumi earned the win for Kobe. He lasted 6 innings, allowing no runs on 3 hits, while striking out 3. With the win, he raised his record to 5-0. Kobe, at 19-12, sits in first place in the Western League.

With Kobe leading 2-0 in the bottom of the first, Osaki hit a 2-run single off Nagasaki hurler Togai Ota. It was the 27th hit of the season for Osaki and put his team ahead, 4-0.

"Scoring runs is scoring runs," said Kobe skipper Shojiro Tasaka. "It's important to have different ways to do it."
