Hirata, Kites Fall to Bulls
The Kobe Bulls withstood a fine game by Kinboshi shortstop Yamahiko Hirata at Matsunoki Stadium, to upend the Kites, 7-6. Hirata went 4-5 with a home run, a double, and 2 singles. He scored 2 times and drove in 4. Kobe pitcher Kakuya Izumi got the win, upping his record to 10-3. Bill Baker got the loss. Kobe currently is in first place in the Western League at 73-35.

Tatsuharu Oto's at-bat in the bottom of the third inning was a big one for Kobe. Coming to bat with one out, the bases loaded and Kobe trailing 2-0, the first baseman hit a 2-run single.

"The clubhouse vibe is great," said Kobe manager Shojiro Tasaka.
