Bulls Top Bees, 7-1, Behind Yamakawa
Kobe picked up a win at Vesutan Stadium, bumping off the Vesutan Bees, 7-1. Pitcher Roku Yamakawa was a major reason the Bulls emerged victorious. Kobe, at 87-39, is 11 games up in the Western League.

Yamakawa was effective against the Bees, seldom allowing a hard-hit ball. The right-hander limited Vesutan to just 1 run on 4 hits over 9 innings.

"I like our clubhouse vibe," said Kobe manager Shojiro Tasaka.
