Kinboshi Pins 8-3 Loss on Bees
Kites first baseman Sueo Shimabukuro left his imprint on his team's 8-3 win over the Vesutan Bees. Shimabukuro was 3 for 4 with a home run, a double, and a walk. He scored 2 runs and drove in 2 for Kinboshi in the contest. Kinboshi is off to a hot start at 2-0.

Kinboshi won the game in part because of Ayahito Yamamoto. The shortstop ripped a 2-run home run in the top of the fifth inning to put the Kites ahead, 4-3. For the game, Yamamoto had 1 double and 1 home run in 5 at-bats.

"The fans pay the tickets and help us do what we do, so we like to put on a show for them," Yamamoto told the Kinboshi Chronicle.
