Baker Brings A-Game, Kites Beat Bulls
The Kinboshi Kites rode a solid performance from 37-year-old starting pitcher Bill Baker to a win, beating the Kobe Bulls, 4-1, at Konohana Stadium. Matoba Miwa nailed down his 12th save. Kinboshi is 50-45 and Kobe, with the loss, 62-33.

Baker, the winner, is now 4-3, after putting the clamps on the Kobe offense. In 8.2 innings of work, he gave up 1 run on 5 hits, while collecting 6 Ks.

"Bill has got a slow heartbeat," said Kinboshi manager Frank Moore. "He doesn't panic or anything."
