The game between Osaka and Kobe is in the books, despite a little rain.

The Osaka Sailors knocked off the Kobe Bulls, 7-4, at Matsunoki Stadium. It took 12 innings. Jiro Koda was a prime reason Osaka won. The shortstop was 3 for 5 with a home run and a double. He scored 2 runs and drove in 3. Osaka bumps their record to 14-20 with the win.

Koda had a game-changing home run in the top of the 12th. On a 1-1 cutter from Tenshou Hirata, he banged a 3-run home run to right-center, giving the Sailors a 7-4 lead. It was the 4th home run of the year for Koda.

In postgame remarks, Koda said: "I'm proud of our guys, of their fight."
