Kites Take Tight Tangle
Kites left fielder Taketoshi Shimabukuro left his mark on his team's 5-4 win over the Osaka Sailors. Shimabukuro, who is tied for 8th in the WL in RBI with 48, was 3-4 with 3 singles and a walk, while scoring 2 for Kinboshi in the contest. Josuke Fujimori claimed the win after being brought in from the bullpen. The left-hander allowed no runs on 1 hit in 1.2 innings. His record stands at 7-1. The 5th-place Kites bumped their record to 37-41.

The game was still up for grabs in the bottom of the ninth. With one out, Shimabukuro hit a fastball from Yataroh Niwa for a run-scoring single. The Kites, in dramatic fashion, had a walk-off win.

"What a buzz," said Shimabukuro after it was over.
