Kobe Beats Kinboshi, 8-2 | Yutaka Abe was instrumental in his team's 8-2 triumph over the Kinboshi Kites. The right fielder was 1 for 1 with a home run, while adding 4 RBI and scoring once for the Kobe Bulls. The Bulls bumped their record to 56-47 with this win.
Had Shunji Yamanaka not delivered a key base hit in the top of the seventh, the outcome might have been different. Instead, with two down and the bases loaded, Yamanaka hit a 2-run single. That made the score 4-2, in favor of the Bulls.
Said losing manager Kaita Kurosawa: "We need to play with more of an edge." | |
