Kawano Shines in 11-4 Kobe Win
Fukuoka Stadium was the site for Western League action featuring the Vesutan Bees and Kobe Bulls.

The Kobe Bulls defeated the Vesutan Bees, 11-4. Doing his part was right fielder Chikato Kawano, who was 3-3 with a home run, a double, and a walk, while scoring 2 runs and driving in 3. Bill O'Grady, who is tied for 5th in the WL in strikeouts with 35, was the winner. He's now 4-3. The loser was Art Marx.

With Kobe leading 2-1 in the top of the fifth, Kawano batted against Vesutan pitcher Art Marx. Kawano hit a cutter to right for a 2-run home run. His 5th home run of the season put the Bulls on top, 4-1.

"I was able to barrel up some pitches," said Kawano.

The win puts the Bulls at 12-22, while the Bees drop to 15-13.
