Shimabukuro Helps Kinboshi Cruise to 10-3 Win
The Kinboshi Kites topped the Fukuoka Falcons by a score of 10-3. Leading the way was left fielder Taketoshi Shimabukuro. Shimabukuro was 4-5 with a home run, a double, and 2 singles. He scored 3 times and drove in 3 for the Kites. Ryusuke Maeda, the winning pitcher, improved to 4-6. He pitched 7 innings, giving up 5 hits and 3 runs, while striking out 5 and walking 4. The second-place Falcons have lost 4 straight games.

Kinboshi relied on the bat of Ayahito Yamamoto to get the win. The shortstop ripped a run-scoring double in the top of the first inning to put the Kites ahead, 1-0. For the game, Yamamoto had 1 double and 1 triple in 5 at-bats.

"We're stringing together some nice wins," said Kinboshi manager Kaita Kurosawa.
