Osaka Gets 8-5 Win
The Osaka Sailors handed the Kobe Bulls a loss at Matsunoki Stadium. The final score was 8-5. Major production was provided by Bunmei Matsumura for Osaka. In addition to his 1 single and 1 home run, he scored 2 runs and drove in 2. He also added 1 walk. Picking up the win was Takahiko Kurata. He went 7 innings, allowing 4 runs on 8 hits. The left--hander struck out 1 and walked 1. Osaka, at 56-63, occupies 5th place in the Western League.

The Sailors capitalized on an error in the top of the fifth inning. Osaka was trailing 3-2 when Ayumu Kaneshiro hit a 2-run single that was misplayed. It put Osaka in front, 4-3.

"We can always improve and get better, but we're feeling confident after that win," said Kaneshiro.
