Ota Powers Sailors to 9-2 Win
Osaka and Kobe put this game in the books despite some rain.

Osaka catcher Kousei Ota had a 4-RBI game, which helped his team beat the Kobe Bulls, 9-2. Natsuhiko Sugiura, who finished 5th in the WL in saves with 9 in 1959, was the winner. He's now 7-6. The loser was Tatsuharu Oto. Yataroh Niwa was called on to finish, recording his 2nd save.

Osaka right fielder Ayumu Kaneshiro contributed a timely at-bat in the top of the fifth. With two down, he hit a fastball to right-center field for a run-scoring single. It was his 60th hit of the season and put the Sailors ahead, 2-0.

"Good win for us," said Ota. "Now we'll focus on the next one."

The last-place Bulls have lost 4 consecutive games.
