Conditions were not ideal but Fukuoka and Kobe were able to put their game in the books.

Fukuoka third baseman Toshifumi Shibuya helped his team beat the Kobe Bulls, 7-5. Shibuya, who finished 3rd in the WL in hits with 139 in 1972, went 3 for 5 for the Falcons. The winning pitcher was Shuuji Ishii. His record now stands at 7-5. The right-hander went 8 innings, allowing 5 runs on 9 hits for the Falcons. Picking up the save was three-time All-Star Shinpo Yamasaki.

Hirobumi Takahashi came through with a big-time hit for Fukuoka. The center fielder smacked a 3-run home run in the top of the seventh inning to give his team the lead, 5-2. It was his only hit, but it was clutch.

"Nice win for us," said Takahashi. "Now we'll go after the next one."

Kobe's current losing streak is now 4 games.
