Inoue Leads Bulls to 8-3 Win Over Sailors
Shissho Inoue knocked in 4 runs to help Kobe beat Osaka, 8-3. Inoue produced 3 singles and 1 home run. Kobe has run its win streak to 5 in a row.

Kobe used a clutch at-bat from Andy Nevill to capture the win. The left fielder hammered a 2-run home run in the top of the second inning to put the Bulls ahead, 2-0. It was his lone hit in 5 at-bats, but it was a humdinger.

"When the ball finds the sweet spot," said Inoue, "I can't complain."
