Kites Need Extra Innings to Top Bulls, 7-5
The Kinboshi Kites defeated the Kobe Bulls, 7-5, in 12 innings. Toki Kobayashi led the way, going 4-for-5 for Kinboshi. Kinboshi reliever Bill Baker picked up the win, raising his record to 3-0. Senichi Soga was tagged with the loss. Joe Neff, credited with the save, is now 1 for 1 in save opportunities.

Kinboshi used the timely hitting of Kanichiro Murakami to seize the win. The pinch hitter stroked a 2-run single in the top of the 12th inning to put the Kites on top, 7-5. It was his only hit in 1 at-bat, but it was a game-changer.

"A lot to like, just frustrated that we came up short," said Kobe manager Ikuhiko Murata.

Kinboshi is now 37-38, Kobe 44-31.
