Kites Fall Short, 3-2, at Kobe
Due in large part to first baseman Shissho Inoue, the Kobe Bulls sunk the Kinboshi Kites, 3-2. Inoue went 3 for 4 with a double and 2 singles. Getting the save was Shiroku Terada, his 17th. The Bulls have now won 4 straight.

Shunji Yamanaka, who is tied for 8th in the WL in bases on balls with 28, aided the Kobe cause with a run-scoring single in the bottom of the sixth. For the game, the catcher went 1 for 3.

"We'll keep playing hard and let the chips fall where they may," said Kobe manager Joe Davis.
