Osaki Lifts Bulls to 3-2 Triumph
The bats were silent much of the day at Vesutan Stadium. But 37-year old third baseman Masu Osaki produced just enough offense to carry the Bulls past the Vesutan Bees, 3-2. Osaki hit 2 home runs. Kobe pitcher Arata Komatsu earned the win, hiking his record to 4-2. Niou Nagao suffered the loss. Kobe is now 24-13, while Vesutan is 17-20.

Kobe grabbed the momentum in the top of the fifth, when Osaki hit a solo home run off Niou Nagao. His 6th home run of the season put the Bulls out in front, 1-0.

"This was a tough loss," said Vesutan manager Jack Fletchings. "It'll stick in my craw for a while."
