The fans at Nagasaki Prefecture Stadium witnessed quite a game.

The Nagasaki Stars got a sterling performance from pitcher Naoto Yoshinaga, but the Kobe Bulls still prevailed, 2-1. Yoshinaga threw 8.0 innings of 4-hit ball. Kobe reliever Masali Tabata picked up the win, raising his record to 3-4. Masato Yamamoto was tagged with the loss.

Chikato Kawano was the walk-off hero for Kobe. With the game tied in the bottom of the ninth inning, the Bulls pinch hitter hit a dramatic run-scoring single to send the teams home.

Kawano called the win the result of "everyone being in sync."

The victory gives Kobe a record of 65-53.
