Bulls Trounce Rams, 10-2
The Kobe Bulls beat the Tokyo Rakisuta Rams, 10-2, at Rakisuta Stadium. The win was due in part to catcher Gyou Matsushima, who went 4 for 5 with a double and 3 singles, while scoring 2 times. Noburo Kagawa picked up the win, improving his season record to 12-10. He struck out 4 in 9 innings. At 46-55, the Bulls claim 7th place in the Japanese Baseball Association.

Mineto Akahoshi, the 26-year old right fielder , had a direct impact on the outcome. Akahoshi contributed a run-scoring single in the top of the fifth inning to put Kobe up, 1-0.

"I wish every win came this easy," said Akahoshi.
