The Kinboshi Kites and Fukuoka Falcons fought to the finish at Fukuoka Stadium.

The Kinboshi Kites racked up a win at Fukuoka Stadium, bumping off the Fukuoka Falcons, 4-2. Hironobu Takaoka, who started for Kinboshi, pitched effectively for his team. The victory gives Kinboshi a record of 38-37.

Kinboshi used the timely hitting of Sueo Shimabukuro to seize the win. The first baseman stroked a 2-run single in the top of the ninth inning to put the Kites on top, 4-2. It was his only hit in 5 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.

"Hironobu did a really nice job of taking the ball and giving us a chance to win the game," said Kinboshi manager Kaita Kurosawa.
