Bulls Topple Sailors, 9-4
The Kobe Bulls picked up a win at Kotei Stadium, knocking off the Osaka Sailors, 9-4. On the mound for Kobe was right-hander Tatsuharu Oto. He played a key role in the triumph. Osaka now owns a losing streak of 5 games.

Kobe used a well-timed hit by Shinpei Abe to capture the win. The left fielder socked a 2-run double in the top of the fourth inning to put the Bulls ahead, 4-2. Though it was his only hit in 4 at-bats, it was important.

"The chili dogs will taste better tonight after this win," said the ever-candid Abe.
