Kites Deal Falcons 5-1 Defeat
The Kinboshi Kites rode a solid performance from 32-year-old starting pitcher Gene Walker to a win, beating the Fukuoka Falcons, 5-1, at Fukuoka Stadium. The winner was Walker. He threw 8.1 innings of 6-hit ball. The loser was Sadakazu Minami. Kinboshi has run its win streak to 4 in a row.

Michihiro Kobashi had a big run-scoring double for the Kites in the top of the fourth inning. With Kinboshi leading 1-0 and a runner on 1st, he got a fastball from 24-year old right-handed pitcher Sadakazu Minami and swatted a double to center. It was his 8th double of the season, and more importantly, it put the Kites ahead, 2-0.

"I like our mindset right now," said Kinboshi manager Kaita Kurosawa.
