Kinboshi Scrapes Out 9-7 Win
The game between Kinboshi and Vesutan is in the books, despite a little rain.

The 9-7 Kinboshi win over Vesutan was due in large part to Fumisato Muramoto. The Kites third baseman went 1-4 with a home run and a walk, while scoring 2 times and driving in 3. Bill Baker closed the game out for Kinboshi, earning his 1st save.

Had Yamahiko Hirata not delivered a key base hit in the top of the eighth, the outcome might have been different. Instead, with two down and the bases loaded, Hirata hit a 2-run single. That made the score 7-5, in favor of the Kites.

"We're all about heart and hustle on this team. That's what wins ballgames," Hirata told the Kinboshi Daily.

The win gives the Kites a record of 12-13.
