Kinboshi got a valiant performance from pitcher Bill Baker, but it wasn't enough to beat the Kobe Bulls. Kobe won the game, 4-3. Baker threw 7.0 innings of 3-hit ball for the losing team. The winner was Kobe reliever Shiroku Terada, now 6-2. The loser was Matoba Miwa. Kobe bumps their record to 97-42 with the win.

Kenji Nishimura was the walk-off hero for Kobe. With the game tied in the bottom of the ninth inning, the Bulls shortstop hit a dramatic run-scoring single to send the teams home.

"It's nice to come out on top today," said Nishimura.
