| Win Goes to Kites in Tight Contest | The Kinboshi Kites picked up a win at Konohana Stadium, dropping the Osaka Sailors, 3-1. Wen-bin Ono, who is tied for 3rd in the WL in quality starts with 4, was the difference-maker. Kinboshi has a mark of 10-13 after the win.
Akichika Goto, who led the EL in stolen bases with 56 in 1972, took Osaka hurler Tetsushou Kobayashi deep in the bottom of the eighth. His solo home run put the Kites on top, 2-1. In all, Goto had 1 single in addition to the home run, while going 2 for 4.
"Every play was important. Every out was important," said Kites manager Frank Moore. | |
