Bulls Score Late to Beat Falcons, 5-4
Kobe picked up a win at Fukuoka Stadium, bumping off the Fukuoka Falcons, 5-4. Pitcher Hironobu Takaoka was a major reason the Bulls emerged victorious. Kobe is now 42-32. Fukuoka is 37-36.

Shinpei Abe came through with a big-time hit for Kobe. The left fielder smacked a solo home run in the top of the ninth inning to give his team the lead, 5-4. It was his only hit, but it was clutch.

"When Hironobu is on, he can really move the ball around," said Kobe manager Joe Davis.
