| Kobe Beats Osaka, 4-2 | Starting pitcher Tatsuharu Oto was a major factor in the 4-2 Kobe Bulls triumph over the Osaka Sailors. Oto got the win, improving to 15-4. He gave up 9 hits and walked 2 over 7.2 innings. He allowed 2 runs. The third-place Bulls have a record of 54-49.
Who knows how it might've ended, had it not been for Takaki Smith? The Kobe second baseman had a run-scoring double in the top of the second inning to put the Bulls on top, 2-0. For the game, Smith had 1 double and 2 singles in 5 at-bats.
"I'm proud of the way our guys played today to come out with this win," Smith told the Kobe Daily.
