  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 R H E
Fukuoka Falcons (76-54) 0 0 0 0 0 2 0 0 0 2 7 1
Kobe Bulls (90-39) 0 0 1 0 0 0 2 0 X 3 7 2
Falcons Go Down to Defeat, 3-2
Kobe turned a good effort from starter Arata Komatsu into a win over the Fukuoka Falcons at Matsunoki Stadium. The Bulls won the game, 3-2. The Bulls, at 90-39, have a comfortable 14½-game lead in their division.

Had Tadahisa Ryu not delivered a key base hit in the bottom of the seventh, the outcome might have been different. Instead, with two down and a runner on 2nd, Ryu hit a run-scoring single. That made the score 3-2, in favor of the Bulls.

"I like the groove we're in," said Komatsu.
