Masuda Spins Shutout Against Bulls
Nagasaki hurler Takashi Masuda put on quite a show, as he blitzed the Kobe Bulls with a 2-0 shutout. He baffled them with fastballs and changeups, allowing 3 hits with 7 strikeouts and no walks to pick up the win.

"I think every time we were looking for a fastball, he threw a changeup and every time we were looking for a changeup, he threw a fastball," Kobe manager Joe Davis told reporters after the game.
