Sailors Beat Bulls, 9-7
Kobe got a terrific game from right fielder Mineto Akahoshi. It wasn't enough, though, to prevent the team from falling to Osaka, 9-7. Akahoshi was 3 for 4 with 3 singles and a walk. He drove in 3 runs. Hideo Ito earned his 6th save in 7 chances. The Sailors are now 50-54, while the Bulls fall to 46-56.

Baku Minami, who is tied for 7th in the JBA in bases on balls with 42, aided the Osaka cause with a run-scoring single in the bottom of the sixth. For the game, the shortstop was 1 for 4.

"You can't take yourself too seriously," Minami told the Osaka Chronicle. "But at the end of the day, we do play to win ballgames."
