Kites 3-1 Victors Over Kobe | The rain made it unbearable at times; nonetheless, the faithful who endured the elements enjoyed themselves.
In a low-scoring tilt between the Kinboshi Kites and the Kobe Bulls, Teruaki Koyama, who finished 4th in the WL in wins with 14 in 1957, was the difference-maker. The Kinboshi right-hander spearheaded the 3-1 win. Koyama picked up the win for Kinboshi, going 6 innings. He gave up 1 run on 5 hits. He now sports a record of 4-2.
Had Yasukatsu Arakawa delivered a key base hit in the top of the seventh, the outcome might have been different. Instead, with two down and runners on 1st and 3rd, Arakawa lined out. The score remained 2-1, Kinboshi, and the Kites were out of the jam.
The Kites are now 31-21. | |
