Despite the rain, the fans at Matsunoki Stadium enjoyed a good ballgame.

The Kobe Bulls got a good effort from starter Yoshimatsu Yamamura in defeating the Fukuoka Falcons at Matsunoki Stadium. The final score was 4-2. With the win, Kobe has a record of 25-14. Fukuoka falls to 25-14.

Jouta Hayashida had a big 2-run home run for the Bulls in the bottom of the fifth inning. With Kobe trailing 2-1 and a runner on 3rd, he sized up a fastball from Isaburo Muraoka, who finished 5th in the WL in wins with 15 last year, and punished it. The result was his 13th home run of the season, which put the Bulls on top, 3-2.

"I felt good up there," said Hayashida. "I saw the ball well."
