Kinboshi Pockets 5-3 Win Over Kobe
Munemitsu Kawasaki helped his team muscle past the Kobe Bulls, 5-3. In the game, the Kinboshi left fielder was 2 for 3 with a home run, while scoring 2 times and driving in 2. Toyoji Tsuda picked up the save, his 1st. The win gives the Kites a record of 2-2.

Kesanori Kikuchi had a big 2-run double for the Kites in the bottom of the fourth inning. With Kinboshi leading 3-1 and runners on 2nd and 3rd, he got a changeup from four-time All-Star Roku Yamakawa and swatted a double to center. It was his 1st double of the season, and more importantly, it put the Kites ahead, 5-1.

Kinboshi manager Frank Moore commended his team for exhibiting "no shortage of effort."
