Though the conditions were not ideal, the Kobe Bulls and Nagasaki Stars came back from a rain delay to finish their game.

The Kobe Bulls picked up a win at Nagasaki Prefecture Stadium, knocking off the Nagasaki Stars, 8-2. Starting pitcher Tatsuharu Oto was a big reason why. With this game in the books, Kobe is 53-23, Nagasaki 34-39.

Kobe used the timely hitting of Jouta Hayashida to capture the win. The center fielder socked a 3-run home run in the top of the sixth inning to put the Bulls ahead, 5-1. It was his only hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a big one.

"I went out and just tried to do my job," said Oto.
