Sailors Defeat Bulls, 5-4
The Osaka Sailors and Kobe Bulls obliged fans looking for a good time.

Kobe wasted an exceptional performance by pitcher Roku Yamakawa, falling to the Osaka Sailors, 5-4. Yamakawa threw 8.0 innings of 7-hit ball for the losing team. Marty Carroll, who went 7 innings, was the winning pitcher. He was charged with 3 runs on 8 hits, while walking 1 and striking out 3. His record now stands at 5-13.

In the bottom of the fifth inning, the Sailors grabbed the lead when Chisen Okada rapped a two-out home run. Osaka was trailing 3-1, when Okada hit a 3-run home run off Roku Yamakawa to put his team in front, 4-3.

"We'll take some time to unwind," said Okada, "and then get after it again."

Osaka's record now stands at 33-84, placing them last in the Western League.
