Bulls Use Late-Game Magic to Beat Falcons, 11-7
The Kobe Bulls topped the Fukuoka Falcons, 11-7, with shortstop Atsushi Tanaka playing a big role. Tanaka went 3-5 with a double and 2 singles, while scoring 3 and driving in 2 for the Bulls in the win. The Bulls raised their record to 32-32.

Kobe went up, 8-7, on Shinpei Abe's 15th double of the season. The run-scoring double, which Abe hit in the bottom of the eighth, left Fukuoka pitcher Kijuro Fukushima feeling deflated.

"We just try to have good at-bats, whether we're winning, losing, or tied," said Tanaka.
