Kites Pocket 9-5 Win Against Kobe
The Kinboshi Kites weathered an outstanding game by Kobe center fielder Jouta Hayashida to topple the Bulls, 9-5. Hayashida went 2-3 with 2 home runs and a walk, while adding 3 RBI and scoring twice. The win elevated the Kites to 24-21.

An inflection point occurred with one out in the top of the fifth. That's when Kites third baseman Fumisato Muramoto hit a sinker from Yoshimatsu Yamamura for a 2-run single. Just like that, Kinboshi was up, 2-1.

Muramoto told a Kinboshi Times reporter that he was "satisfied" with the win.
