Kites Rally Late to Nip Bulls
Ayahito Yamamoto was a major factor in the 6-5 Kinboshi win over Kobe. The Kites shortstop went 2 for 4 with a home run and a walk. He drove in 3 runs and scored once. Kinya Kodama, 3-2, earned the win in relief. He allowed 2 runs on 2 hits in 2 innings. With the victory, the Kites upped their record to 16-16.

Yamamoto had a game-changing home run in the bottom of the eighth. On a 1-1 fastball from Kiyomitsu Wada, he banged a 3-run home run to left, giving the Kites a 6-5 lead. It was the 10th home run of the year for Yamamoto.

"I like the grit of this ballclub," Yamamoto said.
