Funakoshi Lifts Bulls to 7-2 Triumph
The Kobe Bulls beat the Vesutan Bees, 7-2, at Vesutan Stadium. The win was due in part to first baseman Ryuichi Funakoshi, who went 3 for 4 with 2 home runs. He drove in 5 runs and scored twice. The Bulls, now 88-39, have won 10 in a row.

With Kobe leading 3-1 in the top of the fifth, Funakoshi batted against Vesutan pitcher Hank Walker. Funakoshi hit a fastball to right-center for a 3-run home run. His 11th home run of the season put the Bulls on top, 6-1.

"This game is about whoever is putting up more runs," said Bulls manager Shojiro Tasaka. "Simple as that."
