Baseball fans saw a good contest between the Kobe Bulls and Kinboshi Kites.

He drove in 3 runs and scored once. Kiyomitsu Wada was the winner. He's now 7-2. The loser was 32-year old right-handed pitcher Gene Walker. Shiroku Terada earned his 13th save, after closing out the game.

The game turned with one out in the bottom of the fourth when Yamanaka hit a 3-run home run. It thrust the Bulls into the lead, 3-0.

Yamanaka said the team appreciates the support from the fans. "I'm glad we could reward them with a good win," he said after the game.
