Bulls Pick Up 6-1 Win Against Fukuoka
The Kobe Bulls converted a terrific effort from starter Arata Komatsu into a win over the Fukuoka Falcons at Matsunoki Stadium. The Bulls won the game by a final score of 6-1. Komatsu, now 12-6, was the winner. In 9 innings, he gave up 7 hits, while striking out 6, walking 1, and allowing 1 run. The 'W' lifts Kobe's record to 65-34.

Kouyuu Kira's at-bat in the bottom of the sixth was significant, coming with a runner on 3rd and the game tied, 1-1. The Kobe catcher hit a run-scoring single off Isaburo Muraoka to put the Bulls up.

Kobe manager Shojiro Tasaka commended his team for "banging out a nice win."
