Kites Turn Back Fukuoka, 5-3
The Kinboshi Kites defeated the Fukuoka Falcons, 5-3, in Western League action at Fukuoka Stadium. Sueo Shimabukuro pulled his weight. The 11-year veteran was 1-3 with a home run and a walk, while scoring 2 times. Kinboshi goes to 17-9 with the win.

Kinboshi used the timely hitting of Mitsuyasu Takeno to capture the win. The right fielder socked a 3-run home run in the top of the sixth inning to put the Kites ahead, 5-3. It was his only hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a big one.

Kinboshi manager Kaita Kurosawa called it "a darn good win."
