Bulls Win, 4-1, Versus Osaka
The Kobe Bulls topped the Osaka Sailors, 4-1, in Western League action at Kotei Stadium. The game was highlighted by the performance of Kobe pitcher Arata Komatsu. Shinya Kawakami converted his 33rd save in 35 tries. This loss makes it 8 in a row for Osaka.

Oscar Abbott came through with a big-time hit for Kobe. The pinch hitter smacked a 2-run home run in the top of the eighth inning to give his team the lead, 2-1. It was his only hit, but it was clutch.

"Things will change for us," said Osaka manager Bill Sherrill. "When things change, we'll get clicking."
