Kinboshi Triumphs with Late Surge
Michihiro Kobashi left his imprint on the 9-6 Kinboshi win against the Fukuoka Falcons. Kobashi went 3-5 with 2 home runs, while adding 4 RBI and scoring twice. Toshinori Nagase, now 2-0, was credited with the win in 1 innings of relief. He allowed no runs on 3 hits, while striking out 1 and walking 0. Kinboshi's record now stands at 43-29, placing them first in the Western League.

The game was still up for grabs in the bottom of the ninth. With two out, Kobashi hit a sinker from Katsunari Ishiguro for a 3-run home run. The Kites, in dramatic fashion, had a walk-off win.

"The crowd was raucous," said Kobashi.
