8-5 Win Takes Bulls to 30-18
Conditions were not ideal but Kobe and Osaka were able to put their game in the books.

Due in large part to right fielder Tadahisa Ryu, the Kobe Bulls sunk the Osaka Sailors, 8-5. Ryu was 2 for 3 with 2 singles and 2 walks, while scoring 3 runs and driving in 2. Shinya Kawakami recorded the save for Kobe, his 13th of the season.

Kobe took the lead, 5-4, on Jouta Hayashida's 18th home run of the season. The solo home run came off Osaka pitcher Matsu Nakamoto in the top of the seventh.

"I like the vibe in the clubhouse after a win," said Hayashida. "It sure beats the alternative."

Kobe goes to 30-18. The win puts them 3½ games up in their division.
