Kites Shimmy Past Stars, 1-0 | Kinboshi took on Nagasaki in a contest which featured a pitchers' duel. Teruaki Koyama, in particular, was fantastic. The Kinboshi right-hander helped his team snag the win, 1-0. The win was credited to Mirai Watanabe in relief. His record improves to 2-0. Akimasa Murakami took the loss. The Kites, at 21-14, sit in first place in the Western League.
Had Hideyuki Kitamura not delivered a key base hit in the bottom of the eighth, the outcome might have been different. Instead, with two down and a runner on 2nd, Kitamura hit a run-scoring single. That made the score 1-0, in favor of the Kites.
"We faced good pitching and still got it done," said Kitamura. | |
