Bulls Fall Short, 2-1, at Osaka
The Osaka Sailors earned a close win over the Kobe Bulls, thanks in part to Tetsushou Kobayashi. The Osaka left-hander, who is tied for 9th in the WL in wins with 4, played a key role in the 2-1 victory. Haruki Ogawa got credit for the save for Osaka. It was his 5th of the year. The victory puts Osaka at 18-32.

Osaka took a 2-0 lead on Sotatsu Sato's 7th home run of the season. The solo home run, which Sato hit in the bottom of the eighth, left Kobe pitcher Yoshimatsu Yamamura visibly frustrated.

"Tetsushou mixed and matched," said Osaka manager Bill Sherrill.
