Bulls Earn 7-6 Win Versus Kingfishers
Kobe beat Yokohama in a rain-soaked ballgame.

Yokohama shortstop Hiroaki Shimada had a good game, even if his team did not. The Kingfishers dropped a 7-6 decision to Kobe at Matsunoki Stadium. Shimada was 4-4 with 4 singles and a walk. Kobe reliever Jiro Kuroda picked up the win, upping his record to 3-0. Shojiro Tasaka shouldered the loss. Satonori Yamasaki notched his 4th save in 5 chances.

The game was at a stalemate until pinch hitter Kikaku Matsunami came to bat in the bottom of the eighth. Facing Yokohama pitcher Shojiro Tasaka, he hit a first pitch sinker for a run-scoring single. It was a game-changer, putting Kobe on top, 7-6.

"You win some, you lose some. I don't get too caught up in all that," said Matsunami.

Kobe is now 34-39, Yokohama 27-49.
