| Loss Tarnishes Fine Performance by Tokunaga | The inspired effort of Kinboshi first baseman Fusao Tokunaga was not enough to prevent a loss, 8-6, to the Kobe Bulls. Tokunaga slugged 2 home runs. He scored 3 times and drove in 3. The winner was Roku Yamakawa, who threw 108 pitches over 7 innings. The right-hander was charged with 6 runs on 9 hits. The win puts the Bulls at 62-31, while the Kites drop to 48-45.
Oscar Abbott had a key at-bat with one out in the top of the first for Kobe. With the bases loaded and the Bulls leading 1-0, he grounded out, driving in 1 run.
"I still think this team can play even better," Abbott told the Kobe Times.
