Reliables Lose at Home, 9-8, to Kobe
The Kobe Bulls beat the Nagoya Hosho Reliables by a score of 9-8. Kobe catcher Gyou Matsushima deserved the lion's share of the credit. Matsushima went 3 for 4 with a double and 2 singles, while adding 2 RBI and scoring once for the Bulls. Hiroyasu Takahashi got credit for the win, improving to 4-10. He allowed 7 runs on 14 hits in 7 innings. Jiro Kuroda was credited with the save, his 5th in 5 tries.

Had Honzo Kobayashi not delivered a key base hit in the top of the seventh, the outcome might have been different. Instead, with two down and the bases loaded, Kobayashi hit a 2-run single. That made the score 7-6, in favor of the Bulls.

"We need to keep playing good baseball," Matsushima told the Kobe Times.

The Reliables, now 37-45, have lost 4 in a row.
