The Kobe Bulls and Osaka Sailors completed their game despite the rain.

The Kobe Bulls picked up a win at Kotei Stadium, knocking off the Osaka Sailors, 8-3. Starting pitcher Arata Komatsu played a key role in the triumph. At 59-30, the Bulls claim first place in the Western League.

Kobe used the hitting of Tango Kurokawa to pick up the win. The left fielder clubbed a 2-run home run in the top of the seventh inning to put the Bulls on top, 6-3. For the game, Kurokawa had 1 home run and 1 single in 4 at-bats.

"We didn't play well enough to win," said Osaka skipper Bill Sherrill.
