Imoto Pitches 1-0 Shutout for Osaka
The Kobe Bulls struggled at the plate against Sailors hurler Yugo Imoto, who shackled them on 6 hits while hurling a complete-game 1-0 shutout.

"What can you say? We didn't hit well," said Bulls skipper Joe Davis in postgame comments. "Hopefully we shake this off and bounce back tomorrow."

Imoto finished the game with 6 strikeouts and no walks in an excellent mound performance.

"He pitched real well," Osaka manager Heikichi Kawasaki said. "Yugo made pitches when he had to. He hit his spots and did a great job of mixing in his changeup and using his fastball effectively."

So far this season, Imoto has compiled a 2-0 record with a 3.55 ERA.
