Stars Suffer 10-3 Loss to Bulls
Wet weather did not postpone the Kobe-Nagasaki ballgame.

The Kobe Bulls knocked off the Nagasaki Stars, 10-3, at Matsunoki Stadium. Oscar Abbott was a big reason Kobe won. The left fielder went 2 for 3 with a triple, while scoring 2 runs and driving in 4. The win was credited to Shiroku Terada in relief. His record improves to 5-2. Koson Mitsunaga took the loss.

Kobe took the lead, 4-3, on Takaki Smith's 19th double of the season. The run-scoring double, which Smith hit in the bottom of the seventh, left Nagasaki pitcher Koson Mitsunaga crestfallen.

Smith said afterward that his team has grown over the course of the season, adding: "It feels good when a plan comes together."

The first-place Bulls, at 81-39, now lead their division by 8½ games.
