The home squad pulled out a thrilling walk-off win.

The Kobe Bulls grabbed a win, 5-3, over the Osaka Sailors at Matsunoki Stadium. Kobe catcher Kouki Ono went 2-3 with a home run and a walk. He drove in 3 runs and scored once. The first-place Bulls lifted their record to 28-14.

Ono delivered in the clutch for Kobe. In the bottom of the ninth, he took a 1-2 sinker from Osaka pitcher Haruki Ogawa and parked it over the fence. The 2-run home run won it for Kobe.

"The house was rockin'," said Ono.
