Abe Leads Bulls to 5-4 Win Over Kites
The umbrellas came out during the Kobe-Kinboshi contest at Konohana Stadium.

Due in large part to left fielder Shinpei Abe, the Kobe Bulls sunk the Kinboshi Kites, 5-4. Abe was 4 for 5 with a home run and 2 doubles. He scored 2 runs and drove in 2. Kobe pitcher Takeshi Miyazaki earned the win, hiking his record to 2-3. Mirai Watanabe suffered the loss.

Had Abe not come through in the top of the seventh, who knows how the game would've ended? But with two down, Abe hit a run-scoring single. The Bulls took the lead, 5-4, and never looked back.

"Trying isn't good enough in this league," said Abe. "You've got to get results."

The victory puts Kobe at 35-70.
