Bulls Get Clutch Win Versus Vesutan
Vesutan got a big-time effort from pitcher Tsuneo Oda, but it wasn't enough to keep the Kobe Bulls from winning the game, 3-2. Oda threw 7.2 innings of 4-hit ball for the losing team. Kobe is now 23-13, while Vesutan is 17-19.

Takuo Yagi came through with a big-time hit for Kobe. The shortstop smacked a solo home run in the top of the 13th inning to give his team the lead, 3-2. It was his only hit, but it was clutch.

"Whenever I help the team," said Yagi, "it sort of justifies my place on the roster."
