Kites Rally to Win
The Kinboshi Kites locked up a win at Konohana Stadium, knocking off the Kobe Bulls, 3-1. On the mound for Kinboshi was right-hander Saimei Hayashida. He played a major role in the triumph. With the win over Kobe, the Kites improved to 49-45.

Kinboshi went in front, 3-1, on Akichika Goto's 4th home run of the season. The 2-run home run, which Goto hit in the bottom of the eighth, left Kobe pitcher Arata Komatsu visibly perturbed.

"Every loss stings," said Kobe manager Shojiro Tasaka. "This one is no exception."
