Kites Score 6-1 Win Against Kobe
Kinboshi Kites pitcher Mirai Watanabe was in fine form, leading his team past the Kobe Bulls, 6-1. Watanabe, now 1-0, was the winner. In 8 innings, he gave up 6 hits, while striking out 3, walking 4, and allowing 1 run. The loss drops the Bulls to 3-6.

Kinboshi won the game in part because of Mitsuyasu Takeno. The left fielder ripped a 2-run home run in the top of the third inning to put the Kites ahead, 2-0. For the game, Takeno had 1 double and 1 home run in 5 at-bats.

"Whenever we hold the other team to one run," said Kites manager Kaita Kurosawa, "I like our chances."
