The umbrellas came out during the Kobe-Nagasaki contest at Matsunoki Stadium.

In a high-scoring contest between Kobe and Nagasaki, second baseman Takaki Smith was a difference-maker. Smith, who is tied for 3rd in the WL in home runs with 7, distinguished himself in the 10-8 Kobe win. He went 3 for 5 with 2 doubles and a walk. He scored 3 runs. The save went to Shiroku Terada, number 9 for him.

In the bottom of the seventh, Kobe third baseman Shunsuke Murata had a productive at-bat. With the bases loaded and two out, Murata stroked a 2-run single to right. It made the score 10-7, Kobe. For the game, he went 2-4 with 2 singles and was hit by a pitch, while adding 2 RBI and scoring once.

"It was a nice win for our side today," said Bulls manager Joe Davis. "Not perfect, but we'll take it."

Kobe now sits at 14-15, while Nagasaki falls to 14-19.
