Kites Zip Past Sailors, 10-2
The Kinboshi Kites rode a solid performance from 33-year-old starting pitcher John Moss to a win, beating the Osaka Sailors, 10-2, at Konohana Stadium. The loss drops Osaka to 5-16.

Making an impact for the home team was Kesanori Kikuchi. In the bottom of the third, the 1967 Most Valuable Player Award winner had a run-scoring sacrifice fly. That made the score 4-2, Kites.

Osaka manager Bill Sherrill called the blowout loss "ugly."
