Bees Fall, 9-5, to Abe, Bulls
The umbrellas came out during the Kobe-Vesutan contest at Matsunoki Stadium.

The Kobe Bulls topped the Vesutan Bees, 9-5, with left fielder Shinpei Abe playing a big role. Abe was 4-5 with a triple, a double, and 2 singles, while scoring 2 runs and driving in 3 for the Bulls in the win. Kobe reliever Tai Shimabukuro picked up the win, upping his record to 2-1. Genjo Fujii took the loss.

The Bees had been locked in a 4-4 tie with the Bulls going into the bottom of the sixth inning. That changed quickly when the 22-year old second baseman Takaki Smith came to the plate. Smith hit a run-scoring triple on a 2-0 changeup from Vesutan hurler Genjo Fujii. It was Smith's 9th triple of the year.

"It's the best feeling when you come through for your teammates," said Smith.

Kobe has now won 3 straight, while the Bees have lost 3 in a row.
