Bulls Suffer 8-3 Home Loss
The Kobe Bulls picked up a win at Konohana Stadium, knocking off the Kinboshi Kites, 8-3. Starting pitcher Tatsuharu Oto played a key role in the triumph. Kobe now has a record of 44-39 with the win.

The Bulls got a big hit from catcher Kaito Tsuji. Facing Kinboshi pitcher Keiji Tamura in the top of the fifth, Tsuji pounded a grand slam home run to left. His 7th home run of the season put the Bulls ahead, 8-0.

"I think it speaks for itself, I think we came out and we played our kind of baseball," said Tsuji.
