Osaka Sailors starter Tetsushou Kobayashi pitched a strong game against the Vesutan Bees at Vesutan Stadium, leading the Sailors to victory, 6-4. The Bees, now 52-46, have lost 4 in a row.

Bunmei Matsumura had a big 2-run home run for the Sailors in the top of the third inning. With Osaka leading 4-2 and a runner on 1st, he got a sinker from Chiko Abe and swatted a home run to right-center. It was his 4th home run of the season, and more importantly, it put the Sailors ahead, 6-2.

"Tetsushou is a gamer," said Osaka manager Bill Sherrill.
