Kobe Downs Vesutan, 7-5
Despite a great performance by Vesutan right fielder Tetsuya Watanabe, the Kobe Bulls defeated the Bees by the score of 7-5 at Matsunoki Stadium. Watanabe was 3-4 with a double, 2 singles, and a walk, while scoring 2 runs. Toshitada Morino, the winning pitcher, improved to 4-12. He pitched 6.2 innings, giving up 7 hits and 4 runs, while striking out 2 and walking 2. Yasuhiko Hidaka picked up his 3rd save of the season.

The Bulls got a big at-bat from first baseman Shissho Inoue, who in the bottom of the second hit a 2-run double. It was his 21st double of the season and put the Bulls on top, 5-2.

"We can always improve and get better, but we're feeling confident after that win," said Inoue.

The win makes Kobe 33-69, nothing to write home about.
