| Bulls Score 2-1 Win Over Fukuoka | In a tight tilt between the Kobe Bulls and the Fukuoka Falcons, Tatsuharu Oto was the deciding factor. The Kobe right-hander spearheaded the 2-1 win. Oto yielded 1 run over 8 innings to notch the win. He scattered 6 hits, walked 1, and struck out 5. His record improves to 6-3. Kobe is now 24-15, 3½ games up in the Western League.
Kobe took a 2-1 lead on Oto's 6th home run of the season. The solo home run, which he hit off Rei Matsumura in the top of the sixth, propelled Kobe to the win.
"The old adage is true," said Oto. "Good pitching stops good hitting." | |
