Kites Deal Kobe 12-7 Defeat
The rain made it unbearable at times; nonetheless, the faithful who endured the elements enjoyed themselves.

The Kinboshi Kites powered past the Kobe Bulls, 12-7, at Konohana Stadium. Minato Kokubunji was 2-4 with a double and a walk, while scoring 2 runs and driving in 3, to lead the charge. The win has Kinboshi at 3-4.

Kinboshi took the lead, 10-7, on Mitsuyasu Takeno's 3rd home run of the season. The 3-run home run came off Kobe pitcher Hironobu Takaoka in the bottom of the seventh.

"Nice to see our side come away with the win," Kokubunji said after the game.
