Kinboshi took on Kobe in front of a lively crowd.

The Kinboshi Kites got a good effort from starter Gene Walker in defeating the Kobe Bulls at Konohana Stadium. The final score was 10-2. Kinboshi is off to a hot start at 3-1.

Hiroji Orido, who finished 3rd in the WL in batting average with .339 in 1959, contributed to the Kinboshi win with a 2-run home run in the bottom of the first. For the game, the catcher had 2 hits in 5 at-bats with 1 home run, 1 single, 1 run scored, and 3 RBI.

"Good hitting and good pitching is a lethal combination," said Orido.
