Bulls Click Off Another Win, 4-2
The rain came, as predicted, but the Kobe Bulls and Nagasaki Stars were able to complete their ballgame.

The Kobe Bulls picked up a win at Nagasaki Prefecture Stadium, knocking off the Nagasaki Stars, 4-2. Starting pitcher Yoshimatsu Yamamura was a big reason why. The first-place Bulls have won 6 in a row.

Starting Pitcher Tatsuharu Oto made an impact for Kobe, when he swatted a 2-run double off Shinsaku Shiraishi in the top of the third. For the contest, Oto went 1-3 with a double, while adding 2 RBI and scoring once.

"I'm just trying to make sure I'm focused for each and every pitch," said Yamamura.
