Yamamoto has 4 hits to Ignite Kites Offense
The Kinboshi Kites beat the Vesutan Bees in a game in which both teams scored early and often. The final score was 16-14, Kites. One of the hitting stars was shortstop Ayahito Yamamoto. Yamamoto, who finished 3rd in the WL in stolen bases with 17 in 1957, was 4 for 6 with a home run and 2 doubles. He scored 3 runs and drove in 3. Kinboshi now sits at 33-23, while Vesutan falls to 26-24.

Kinboshi used the hitting of Sakan Hashizume to pick up the win. The first baseman clubbed a grand slam home run in the top of the second inning to put the Kites on top, 5-0. For the game, Hashizume had 1 home run and 1 single in 5 at-bats.

"They're fun to watch and the hitters get to pad their stats but nobody's really happy about a game like that," Kinboshi manager Kaita Kurosawa. "I promise you I'm not happy."
