Bulls Win, 6-4, at Vesutan
The game between Kobe and Vesutan is in the books, despite a little rain.

No one was more impactful than Andy Nevill in the 6-4 Kobe win over Vesutan. Nevill was 3 for 5 with a home run and a double. He scored 2 times and drove in 3. Tatsuharu Oto earned the win. Tadaatsu Sunada, who finished 5th in the EL in strikeouts with 148 in 1957, took the loss for Vesutan.

In the top of the first, Nevill had a 2-run home run for Kobe. It was his 3rd home run of the season and put the Bulls on top, 2-0.

"Anytime you're seeing it well, it's a good feeling," Nevill told the Kobe News.

With the victory, the Bulls upped their record to 27-25.
