Bulls Deal Bees 3-2 Defeat
The umbrellas came out during the Kobe-Vesutan contest at Vesutan Stadium.

Kobe beat Vesutan at Vesutan Stadium, eking out a 3-2 win. The win was due in large part to center fielder Jouta Hayashida. He was 3 for 3 with a home run, 2 singles, and a walk. Kobe improves to 69-48 with the win. They lead their division by 2 games.

Shissho Inoue, who finished 5th in the WL in on-base percentage with .381 in 1965, had a direct impact on the outcome. Inoue contributed a run-scoring sacrifice fly in the top of the sixth inning to put Kobe up, 3-2.

"Every win gets us closer to our ultimate goal," said Inoue.
