Bulls Hang 6-2 Loss on Sailors
Kobe Bulls starter Tatsuharu Oto pitched his team past the Osaka Sailors, 6-2. The triumph puts Kobe at 50-22 for the season.

The Sailors had been locked in a 2-2 tie with the Bulls going into the bottom of the sixth inning. That changed quickly when the 30-year old right fielder Oscar Abbott came to the plate. Abbott hit a run-scoring double on a 0-1 fastball from Osaka hurler Takahiko Kurata. It was Abbott's 8th double of the year.

"Tatsuharu was throwing strikes, locating well," said Kobe manager Shojiro Tasaka.
