The streak continues for Kobe.

Starting pitcher Roku Yamakawa pitched well enough to help the Kobe Bulls beat the Osaka Sailors, 4-3. Yamakawa yielded 3 runs over 9 innings to notch the win. He scattered 5 hits, walked 1, and struck out 6. His record improves to 14-9.

The clutch at-bat came in the bottom of the ninth inning, when Kobe center fielder Jouta Hayashida, facing Haruki Ogawa, had a run-scoring sacrifice fly. It gave the Bulls the 4-3 win.

"We're playing like gangbusters right now," said Yamakawa.

Kobe is in first place in the Western League with a record of 92-39.
