Bulls Score Late to Beat Stars, 3-2
The Kobe Bulls topped the Nagasaki Stars, 3-2, in Western League action at Matsunoki Stadium. The standout performance belonged to Kobe pitcher and Nagoya, Japan, native Masahide Kanemoto. The third-place Bulls are 55-49.

Ryuunosuke Okamoto was the walk-off hero for Kobe. With the game tied in the bottom of the ninth inning, the Bulls right fielder hit a dramatic run-scoring single to send the teams home.

Kanemoto attributed the win to his team's "focus and intensity."
