Osaka Gets 7-5 Win Against Bulls
Osaka catcher Kojiro Urushihara had 4 ribbies while helping his team defeat the Kobe Bulls, 7-5. Matsu Nakamoto earned the save, his 5th in 6 tries. The Sailors raised their record to 40-70.

Urushihara contributed a big hit, a grand slam home run, for Osaka in the bottom of the first. With his team trailing 2-0, Urushihara took a changeup from Arata Komatsu and stroked the home run to right. His 7th home run of the season allowed the Sailors to leap in front, 4-2.

"In this profession, you've got to put the good and the bad behind you quickly," Kobe skipper Ikuhiko Murata said.
