Murata Goes Off, But Kites Win
The inspired effort of Kobe third baseman Shunsuke Murata was not enough to prevent a loss, 10-8, to the Kinboshi Kites. Murata went 3 for 5 with 2 home runs and a double, while scoring 3 and driving in 3. Kannon Kato, the winning pitcher, is now 3-1. He went 5.2 innings, allowing 5 runs on 7 hits, while fanning 1 and walking 0. Kinboshi, now 15-8, has played well in the early going.

Mitsuyasu Takeno, who is tied for 9th in the WL with a .937 OPS, aided the Kinboshi cause with a run-scoring single in the bottom of the fifth. For the game, the left fielder went 2-5 with 2 singles. He drove in 2 runs and scored once.

"If you were looking for a pitchers' duel," said Takeno, "this wasn't it."
