Bees Defeated, 12-7, After Kobe Rallies
Kobe and Vesutan got after it at Fukuoka Stadium.

Kobe left fielder Shinpei Abe had 6 ribbies while helping his team defeat the Vesutan Bees, 12-7. The win elevated the Bulls to 28-25.

Kobe used the timely hitting of Takaki Smith to seize the win. The second baseman stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the eighth inning to put the Bulls on top, 8-7. It was his only hit in 5 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.

"We're feeling good in this clubhouse right now after that one," Smith told the Kobe News.
