Eager fans turned out for a matchup between the Kobe Bulls and Osaka Sailors.

The Kobe Bulls trumped the Osaka Sailors, 10-5, at Matsunoki Stadium. Kobe catcher Kouyuu Kira was terrific. He went 3-5 with a double and 2 singles. He drove in 5 runs and scored once. The winning pitcher was 1968 Noburu Kagawa Award winner Arata Komatsu. He tossed 121 pitches over 9 innings, allowing 5 runs on 10 hits.

In the bottom of the first, Kira had a bases-clearing double for Kobe. It was his 11th double of the season and put the Bulls on top, 3-2.

"They played a better game than we did," said Osaka skipper Bill Sherrill.

The Bulls raised their record to 69-35.
