Clutch Hitting Delivers Win for Kites
Baseball fans saw a good contest between the Kinboshi Kites and Osaka Sailors.

The Osaka Sailors could not turn a fine performance from pitcher Atsuhiro Smith into a win. Instead, the Kinboshi Kites prevailed, 6-4. Smith threw 7.1 innings of 6-hit ball. Kinboshi reliever Ienari Takagi picked up the win to move to 2-0. Yataroh Niwa suffered the loss.

Kinboshi took advantage of an error in the top of the ninth inning. The game was tied, 4-4, when Sueo Shimabukuro hit a 2-run single that was misplayed. It put the Kites in front, 6-4.

Shimabukuro called it "a solid win."

The win makes Kinboshi 39-27.
