Kites Back to .500 With Win Over Stars | The Kinboshi Kites topped the Nagasaki Stars, 5-4, in Western League action at Konohana Stadium. The standout performance belonged to Kinboshi pitcher and Mihara, Japan, native Keiji Tamura. Kinboshi has now won 3 straight, while the Stars have lost 3 in a row.
Had Hiroji Orido not delivered a key base hit in the bottom of the eighth, the outcome might have been different. Instead, with two down and a runner on 2nd, Orido hit a run-scoring single. That made the score 5-4, in favor of the Kites.
"I like the grit of this ballclub," Orido said. | |
