| Bulls Win, 8-2, Versus Kinboshi | The Kobe Bulls downed the Kinboshi Kites, 8-2, at Matsunoki Stadium. The Bulls were led by Takaki Smith. Smith was 2 for 2 with 2 singles and 3 walks. He scored 2 times. Arata Komatsu got the win, improving to 3-4. He held the Kites to 2 runs on 6 hits over 8 innings, while striking out 3 and walking 1. The Western League-leading Bulls have a record of 28-18.
The game was all tied up in the bottom of the eighth, until Smith delivered big-time for Kobe, stroking a dramatic run-scoring single off Narushi Nagaoka. The game-changing hit put the Bulls on top, 3-2.
Said losing manager Frank Moore: "It's very easy to sit in an ivory tower and critique the pitching, but the bottom line is we need to score runs."
