Bulls Come Back Late to Top Kites, 9-6
Kinboshi got a terrific performance from pitcher Yasuhiko Hidaka, but it wasn't enough to beat the Kobe Bulls. Kobe won the Konohana Stadium contest, 9-6. Hidaka threw 7.1 innings of 5-hit ball for the losing team. Kobe reliever Toshimichi Yamamoto picked up the win, raising his record to 4-0. Josuke Fujimori was tagged with the loss. Shiroku Terada notched his 14th save in 16 chances.

Kobe used a timely hit from 30-year old right fielder Yutaka Abe to get the win. The right fielder delivered a bases-clearing triple in the top of the ninth inning to put the Bulls on top, 9-6. It was his only hit in 1 at-bat, but it was huge.

"It never gets old," said Abe. "Winning, that is."

Kobe has won 3 straight, while Kinboshi has lost 3 in a row.
