Stars Come Up Short at Kinboshi, 4-3 | Kinboshi first baseman Sueo Shimabukuro played a vital role in his team's 4-3 conquest of Nagasaki. He went 3 for 4 with a home run and 2 singles, while adding 2 RBI and scoring once for Kinboshi. Earning his 7th save of the year was Kinya Kodama. The Kites, at 25-29, sit in 5th place in the Western League.
The Stars had been locked in a 3-3 tie with the Kites going into the bottom of the fifth inning. That changed quickly when the six-time All-Star Ayahito Yamamoto came to the plate. Yamamoto hit a run-scoring double on a 2-1 sinker from Nagasaki hurler Naoto Yoshinaga. It was Yamamoto's 10th double of the year.
"We're just going to try to build off this win," said Shimabukuro. | |
