Kurata Now 14-7 After Beating Bulls
In a low-scoring affair between the Osaka Sailors and the Kobe Bulls, pitcher Takahiko Kurata was the difference between victory and defeat. The Osaka left-hander earned accolades for his stellar performance in the 1-0 Sailors win. Choei Teramoto wrapped it up, recording his 6th save. The win makes Osaka 57-50.

Kurata, who was born in Hitachi, Japan, threw 105 pitches over 8 innings, while allowing no runs.

"Takahiko just settled in and did what he does," said Osaka manager Heikichi Kawasaki.
