Bulls Best Sailors in Pitching Duel
Both teams had their chances, but the Kobe Bulls eventually prevailed.

In a low-scoring contest between the Kobe Bulls and the Osaka Sailors, Roku Yamakawa was the X factor. The Kobe right-hander spearheaded the 2-1 win. In 8 innings, Yamakawa surrendered 5 hits, while striking out 5 and walking 2. He allowed 1 run.

Kobe right fielder Toshitake Amano helped the Bulls go up, 2-1, in the bottom of the seventh inning. With the game tied, Amano hit a run-scoring single off Osaka pitcher Genpaku Matsumoto.

"Winning is always a team effort," Yamakawa said after the game.

Kobe leads the Western League by 3½ games.
