Matsumura Goes 5-for-5
Bunmei Matsumura really did a number on the Kobe Bulls -- and the Bulls did one right back on Matsumura's team, the Osaka Sailors, taking the Kotei Stadium contest, 15-11.

Matsumura delivered a huge 5-for-5 performance for Osaka, but did not deliver the victory.

"I felt real good in the batter's box," the 25-year-old third baseman said after putting up a game for the ages. "I had confidence in my swing and knew that it was there and that I could get the job done."

Bunmei Matsumura hit a two-run home run off Toshitada Morino in the 1st, singled in the 3rd, singled in the 5th, hit an RBI single in the 6th and hit a three-run home run off Takeshi Miyazaki in the 8th.

This year, Matsumura has collected a .257 batting average to date with 47 hits in 183 at-bats, 24 RBIs, 8 home runs and scored 19 times. He has played in 73 games.
