Falcons Spoil Great Performance by Tashiro
Kobe second baseman Shinsaku Tashiro pounded Fukuoka Falcons pitchers at Fukuoka Stadium, but it was not enough to keep the Bulls from falling, 9-8. Tashiro slugged 2 home runs, while adding 5 RBI and scoring twice. The Falcons are now 36-31.

The game was at a stalemate until second baseman Niito Katagiri came to bat in the bottom of the eighth. Facing Kobe pitcher Masali Tabata, he hit a 0-2 fastball for a run-scoring single. It was a game-changer, putting Fukuoka on top, 9-8.

"We found a way to get it done," Katagiri said.
