Kobe Bulls starter Tatsuharu Oto turned in an exceptional performance against the Fukuoka Falcons at Matsunoki Stadium, resulting in a Kobe win, 7-2. Kobe, now 89-39, has won 11 straight games.

Tango Kurokawa, who finished 5th in the WL in doubles with 21 last year, chipped in a 3-run home run for Kobe in the bottom of the seventh. For the game, the left fielder had 2 hits in 4 at-bats with 1 home run, 1 single, 1 run scored, and 3 runs batted in.

"The positive vibes are all around the clubhouse," said Bulls manager Shojiro Tasaka. "Once you see a player having a good at-bat, that's really contagious."
