Falcons Lose, 6-1, as Bulls Rally
The Kobe Bulls took on the Fukuoka Falcons at Fukuoka Stadium.

The Fukuoka Falcons went down to defeat to Yoshimatsu Yamamura and his Kobe teammates. The final score was 6-1, in favor of the Bulls. Kobe reliever Shinya Kawakami was the winner. His record is now 6-2. The losing pitcher was Rei Matsumura.

The game was at a stalemate until pinch hitter Ryuichi Funakoshi came to bat in the top of the ninth. Facing Fukuoka pitcher Rei Matsumura, he hit a 1-0 fastball for a 2-run single. It was a game-changer, putting Kobe on top, 3-1.

"They played a better game than we did," said Fukuoka skipper Kamlyn Kadota.

The Bulls improved their record to 78-38 with the win over Fukuoka.
