Bulls Claim Late Win
The Kobe Bulls faced a tough opponent in Vesutan pitcher Art Marx, but did just enough to pull out the victory at Fukuoka Stadium by a final score of 5-3. Marx went 7.1 innings and allowed 3 runs. The victory gives the Bulls a record of 59-52.

Takaki Smith came through with a big-time hit for Kobe. The second baseman smacked a 2-run home run in the top of the ninth inning to give his team the lead, 5-3. It was his only hit, but it was clutch.

Smith called the win the result of "everyone working in tandem."
