Bulls Earn 3-1 Home Win
It might have been a rain-shorted game, but Bulls fans didn't seem to mind as long as their team got the win.

In a low-scoring game between the Kobe Bulls and the Nagasaki Stars, pitcher Tatsuharu Oto was masterful on the mound. The Kobe right-hander spearheaded his team's 3-1 win. The victory gives the Bulls a record of 77-50.

The Bulls got a big at-bat from shortstop Takanori Ide. For the game, Ide was 1 for 2 with a home run, while adding 2 RBI and scoring once. In the bottom of the fifth, with a runner on 2nd, he stroked a 2-run home run. His 14th home run of the season gave Kobe a 3-1 lead.

"Tatsuharu did a heck of a job," said Kobe manager Ikuhiko Murata.
