Oto Masters Osaka in Complete Game Win
Tatsuharu Oto, who led the WL in innings pitched with 253.0 in 1971, was terrific for the Kobe Bulls in his team's 6-1 triumph over the Osaka Sailors. His performance earned Oto rave reviews. The Bulls have an impressive 75-48 record.

Oto pitched a complete game for Kobe. The 36-year-old right-hander was charged with 1 run on 3 hits. He struck out 6 during his 117-pitch performance.

"For the most part, I didn't think they knew what was coming," said Oto.
