Kobe Defeated by Kinboshi, 3-0 | The Kinboshi Kites got a magnificent performance from pitcher Yasuhiko Hidaka, who muffled the Kobe offense en route to a tight, 3-0 Kites win at Matsunoki Stadium. Hidaka, the winner, moves to 3-1. He threw 6 innings of 4-hit ball, while fanning 3 and giving up no walks. Kinboshi raised its record to 22-22 with the win.
Kinboshi used a well-timed hit by Mitsuyasu Takeno to capture the win. The right fielder socked a run-scoring double in the top of the sixth inning to put the Kites ahead, 1-0. Though it was his only hit in 3 at-bats, it was important.
"It was a tough night at the plate," said Kobe manager Joe Davis. | |
