The Bulls got a big at-bat from third baseman Masu Osaki. For the game, Osaki was 1 for 4 with a home run. He drove in 2 runs and scored once. In the top of the fourth, with a runner on 1st, he stroked a 2-run home run. His 6th home run of the season gave Kobe a 3-2 lead.

"No time for posing," said Oto. "The next game will be here before you know it."
