Fukuoka Stadium was the site for Western League action featuring the Vesutan Bees and Kobe Bulls.

Kobe beat Vesutan on the strength of starting pitcher Kiyomitsu Wada's fine effort. The right-hander led his team to a win, 7-1. The triumph makes Kobe 40-78.

Kobe used a timely hit from Shissho Inoue to get the win. The first baseman stroked a 2-run double in the top of the eighth inning to put the Bulls ahead, 2-0. It was his only hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a difference-maker.

"It's nice to deliver when your team's counting on you," said Inoue.
