Kobashi Helps Kinboshi Cruise to 10-3 Win
Soggy conditions did not keep Kinboshi and Kobe from playing their scheduled game.

The Kinboshi Kites pinned a convincing loss on the Kobe Bulls, 10-3, at Konohana Stadium. Michihiro Kobashi was a main factor in the win. He went 4 for 4 with a home run, a double, and 2 singles, while scoring 2 runs and driving in 2 for Kinboshi. At 30-31, the Kites are currently 4th in the Western League.

Kitahachi Masuda, who is tied for 6th in the WL in triples with 5, contributed to the Kinboshi win with a 3-run home run in the bottom of the second. For the game, the second baseman had 2 hits in 5 at-bats with 1 home run, 1 single, 2 runs scored, and 4 RBI.

"Our approach was just to try to see something over the plate and be aggressive," Kobashi told the Kinboshi Chronicle.
