Orido Hits 2 home runs in Kites Win
Kinboshi and Vesutan duked it out and the Kites came out victorious.

The Kinboshi Kites trumped the Vesutan Bees, 11-8, at Fukuoka Stadium. Kinboshi catcher Hiroji Orido was terrific. He was 3 for 5 with 2 home runs and a double. He drove in 4 runs and scored twice. Hironobu Takaoka got the win, improving to 5-3. He worked 5.1 innings, giving up 7 runs on 8 hits, while striking out 2 and walking 2.

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

"You need to show up when your number's called," said Orido.

With the victory, the Kites upped their record to 31-26.
