Kites Grind Out 2-1 Win
Takahiko Kurata, who finished 4th in the WL in strikeouts with 95 in 1955, pitched well, but the Osaka Sailors still fell short, losing, 2-1, to the Kinboshi Kites at Kotei Stadium. Kinya Kodama picked up the save for Kinboshi, his 9th of the year. The current losing streak for Osaka has reached 4 games.

Kinboshi used the timely hitting of Kiyohito Nojima to seize the win. The catcher stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the seventh inning to put the Kites on top, 2-1. It was his only hit in 3 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.

"We were in it," said Osaka manager Heikichi Kawasaki. "We just didn't score enough runs."
