Falcons Suffer 10-6 Road Loss
The Kinboshi Kites defeated the Fukuoka Falcons, 10-6, in Western League action at Konohana Stadium. Taketoshi Shimabukuro pulled his weight. The 8-year veteran was 3-4 with 3 singles and was hit by a pitch, while adding 3 RBI and scoring once. Yasuhiko Hidaka was the winning pitcher. Over 8 innings, he allowed 6 runs on 9 hits, with 1 walk and 3 strikeouts. The loss makes Fukuoka 8-4.

In the bottom of the third, Shimabukuro had one of his most important at-bats: a 2-run single off Minoru Yamamoto that staked the Kites to a 3-1 lead.

"Every time you put a 'W' on the board is always good," said Shimabukuro.
