Kobe Rallies to 4-2 Win
Osaka got a valiant performance from pitcher Kinnosuke Shimabukuro, but it wasn't enough to beat the Kobe Bulls. Kobe won the game, 4-2. Shimabukuro threw 8.0 innings of 3-hit ball for the losing team. Shiroku Terada, summoned from the bullpen, notched his 2nd save. With the win over Osaka, the Bulls improved to 39-19.

Ryuichi Funakoshi came through with a big-time hit for Kobe. The pinch hitter smacked a solo home run in the top of the 11th inning to give his team the lead, 3-2. It was his only hit, but it was clutch.

"I'm just trying to make good contact," said Funakoshi, "one at-bat at a time."
