Bulls Absorb 5-3 Loss at Fukuoka Stadium
Though the conditions were not ideal, the Vesutan Bees and Kobe Bulls came back from a rain delay to finish their game.

The Vesutan Bees topped the Kobe Bulls by the score of 5-3, with the largest share of the credit going to left fielder Senri Taguchi. Taguchi was 4 for 4 with a double and 3 singles for the Bees. Vesutan is now 59-40, while Kobe is 45-51.

In the bottom of the fifth, Vesutan second baseman Hyuuga Kimura had a productive at-bat. With the bases loaded and no one out, Kimura stroked a run-scoring single to right-center. It made the score 3-2, Vesutan. For the game, he was 2-4 with 2 singles. He drove in 2 runs.

"If it's down the middle," said Taguchi, "you might as well hit it."
