Bulls Fall, 9-2, to Yamamoto, Kites
In the 9-2 Kinboshi win over Kobe, the impact of Ayahito Yamamoto was substantial. Yamamoto, who finished 5th in the WL in wins above replacement with 5.6 in 1956, was 4-4 with 2 doubles and 2 singles. He scored 2 runs and drove in 2. The win for the Kites raised their record to 19-9.

The game turned with one out in the bottom of the fourth when Yamamoto hit a 2-run double. It thrust the Kites into the lead, 3-1.

"I'm just out there trying to have as much fun as I can while I'm playing," Yamamoto told the Kinboshi Chronicle.
