Shimabukuro Slugs Kites to 13-4 Win
Kites left fielder Taketoshi Shimabukuro left his imprint on his team's 13-4 win over the Osaka Sailors. Shimabukuro belted 2 home runs, while scoring 4 times and driving in 4 for Kinboshi in the contest. The winning pitcher was Gene Walker. His record now stands at 1-3. The right-hander went 7.2 innings, allowing 4 runs on 7 hits for the Kites. At 14-8, the Kites have played well so far.

The Kites got a big hit from second baseman Kitahachi Masuda. Facing Osaka pitcher Natsuhiko Sugiura in the bottom of the fifth, Masuda pounded a 3-run home run to center. His 3rd home run of the season put the Kites ahead, 7-0.

"Taketoshi leaves the last at-bat behind him, whether it was good or bad, and goes up there and competes on every pitch," said Kinboshi manager Kaita Kurosawa.
