Bulls Rally Late to Clip Vesutan
The Kobe Bulls turned back the Vesutan Bees, 9-8, at Matsunoki Stadium. Jouta Hayashida, in particular, had a fine performance. He was 3 for 4 with 3 singles. He scored 2 times. Earning the save was Shinya Kawakami. He's now cashed in 31 of 33 save opportunities. With the win, Kobe raised its record to 80-52.

Tango Kurokawa drove in one run for Kobe. The former first round draft pick had a key at-bat in the bottom of the eighth. With one out and runners on 2nd and 3rd, he broke a 8-8 tie with a run-scoring sacrifice fly off Toshimichi Yamamoto. It was his 58th RBI of the season.

Kurokawa said afterward that his team has grown over the course of the season, adding: "It feels good when a plan comes together."
