| Bulls Win, 12-0, as Oto Mystifies Nagasaki | Tatsuharu Oto kept the opposition off the scoreboard and the Kobe Bulls were all smiles after winning, 12-0, against the Nagasaki Stars at Matsunoki Stadium. The right-handed Oto gave up no runs in his start, permitted 2 hits, and tallied 5 strikeouts.
"If there was a stat for 'team shutout,' this would be it," Oto said later. "My catcher called a great game, guys delivered at the plate and when I messed something up the guys behind me were where they needed to be."
Looking at his season stats, Oto has won 10 and lost 4, collecting 54 strikeouts and 16 walks in 111.2 innings with a 2.98 ERA. | |
