| In Extras, Bulls Beat Kites | The Kobe Bulls beat the Kinboshi Kites, 4-3, in 10 innings. Kobe pitcher and Kazo, Japan, native Kakuya Izumi led the way. Shiroku Terada, credited with the save, is now 1 for 1 in save opportunities. The Kites, at 55-64, have lost 4 straight games.
Kobe used the timely hitting of Oscar Abbott to seize the win. The pinch hitter stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the tenth inning to put the Bulls on top, 4-3. It was his only hit in 1 at-bat, but it was a game-changer.
Kobe manager Ikuhiko Murata called it "a darn good win."
