Kites Win Streak Reaches 7
Behind the hitting of Taketoshi Shimabukuro, the Kinboshi Kites stopped the Nagasaki Stars, 10-4. Shimabukuro was 3 for 4 with a triple, 2 singles, and a walk. He drove in 3 runs for the Kites. Kinboshi pitcher Yasuhiko Hidaka got the win. He's now 3-0. Roku Yamakawa was tagged with the loss. The Stars fall to 9-13 and continue their sputtering start to the 1963 season.

Who knows how it might've ended, had it not been for Hiroji Orido? The Kinboshi catcher had a run-scoring single in the top of the fifth inning to put the Kites on top, 4-3. For the game, Orido had 1 double and 2 singles in 5 at-bats.

"This team keeps racking up the wins," said Kites manager Kaita Kurosawa.
