Takaki Smith helped his team muscle past the Osaka Sailors, 12-5. In the game, the Kobe second baseman belted 2 home runs, while scoring 4 runs and driving in 2. The second-place Bulls now sit at 58-49.

Masali Tabata threw 7.0 innings allowing 5 runs for Kobe. The 28-year old right-handed pitcher had a key at-bat in the bottom of the fourth. With one out and runners on 1st and 3rd, he broke a 3-3 tie with a run-scoring ground out off Natsuhiko Sugiura. It was his 3rd RBI of the season.

"Nice to see our side come away with the win," Tabata said after the game.
