Kawano Helps Bulls Defeat Bees, 8-6
The performance of Chikato Kawano proved critical in helping Kobe beat Vesutan, 8-6. The Bulls left fielder went 4 for 4 with a home run, a triple, and 2 singles, while scoring 2 runs and driving in 2. Hironobu Takaoka, credited with the save, is now 3 for 4 in save opportunities. The victory gives Kobe a record of 45-40.

Ryuunosuke Okamoto came through with a big-time hit for Kobe. The right fielder smacked a 3-run home run in the top of the eighth inning to give his team the lead, 8-6. It was his only hit, but it was clutch.

"I'm just looking for a good pitch that I can hit well," said Kawano. "And not try to do too much."
