Vesutan Loss Tarnishes Fine Game by Okano
The inspired effort of Vesutan second baseman Kichiro Okano was not enough to prevent a loss, 10-5, to the Kobe Bulls. Okano went 3-4 with 2 home runs. He drove in 4 runs and scored twice. With the victory, the Bulls upped their record to 76-37.

Kobe got a lift in the bottom of the third from center fielder Jouta Hayashida, who hit a fastball to left for a 2-run home run. His 30th home run of the season put the Bulls up, 5-3.

"We took advantage of our opportunities," Hayashida told the Kobe Times. "It's as simple as that."
