Bulls Pocket 7-4 Win Against Fukuoka
Bulls catcher Kouyuu Kira left his mark on his team's 7-4 win over the Fukuoka Falcons. Kira, who is tied for 8th in the WL with a .296 batting average, was 3 for 3 with 3 singles and a walk. He scored 2 times for Kobe in the contest. Shinya Kawakami closed the game out for Kobe, earning his 15th save. Kobe goes to 33-20. The win puts them 2½ games up in their division.

The Bulls got a big at-bat from right fielder Oscar Abbott. For the game, Abbott was 2 for 4 with a double. He drove in 2 runs. In the bottom of the fifth, with runners on 1st and 3rd, he stroked a 2-run double. His 5th double of the season gave Kobe a 5-4 lead.

"Losing makes me cranky," said Fukuoka manager Kamlyn Kadota. "And right now there's a big black storm cloud above my head."
