Soggy conditions did not keep Kobe and Kinboshi from playing their scheduled game.

With third baseman Masu Osaki leading the charge, the Kobe Bulls defeated the Kinboshi Kites, 9-7, at Matsunoki Stadium. Osaki, who is tied for 10th in the WL with a .845 OPS, was 2 for 3 with a home run and a walk. He scored 2 runs and drove in 2. Kobe pitcher Toshitada Morino got the win. He's now 5-3. Keiji Tamura was tagged with the loss. Picking up the save was Toshio Yamamoto, his 1st.

Takaki Smith had a clutch at-bat with one out in the bottom of the sixth for the Bulls. Coming up with runners on 2nd and 3rd and Kobe trailing 5-4, he hit a 2-run single.

"We ground out the win," said Smith. "That's all that matters."

With the victory, the Bulls upped their record to 21-18.
