Bulls Rally to Nose Past Fukuoka
Matsunoki Stadium was the site of an exciting ballgame between the Kobe Bulls and Fukuoka Falcons.

The Kobe Bulls withstood an impressive performance by Fukuoka first baseman Saiki Nojima to defeat the Falcons, 6-5, at Matsunoki Stadium. Nojima was 3-4 with a home run, 2 doubles, and a walk. He scored 2 times and drove in 3. Paul Baker, credited with the win, is now 12-11. He allowed 5 runs on 14 hits in 9 innings.

Kobe went in front, 6-4, on Mikinori Sakaguchi's 34th home run of the season. The 3-run home run, which Sakaguchi hit in the bottom of the eighth, left Fukuoka pitcher Toshinori Osada visibly perturbed.

"We've got great fans," said Sakaguchi. "I hope they got what they came for."

The Bulls win now puts them at 51-66.
