The Kobe Bulls took on the Nagasaki Stars at Nagasaki Prefecture Stadium.

The Kobe Bulls topped the Nagasaki Stars, 5-3, in Western League action at Nagasaki Prefecture Stadium. The standout performance belonged to Kobe pitcher and Sagamihara, Japan, native Roku Yamakawa. The first-place Bulls go to 31-15.

Kobe used the clutch hitting of Takechi Kawabata to snag the win. The right fielder drilled a 3-run home run in the top of the 11th inning to put the Bulls ahead, 5-1. It was his lone hit in 1 at-bat, but it was a crucial one.

"Job one," said Yamakawa, "is get the job done."
