Kites Rally to Nose Past Osaka
The Kites grabbed a win, 5-4, at Kotei Stadium, overcoming a fine effort from Osaka pitcher Genpaku Matsumoto. Matsumoto went 7 innings and allowed 2 runs. Kinboshi pitcher Matoba Miwa earned the win, hiking his record to 4-5. Yukinobu Nobuhara suffered the loss. Kinboshi is 45-50 and Osaka, with the loss, 32-63.

Kinboshi won the game in part because of Taira Kanazawa. The center fielder ripped a run-scoring double in the top of the ninth inning to put the Kites ahead, 5-4. For the game, Kanazawa had 1 double and 1 home run in 5 at-bats.

"Winning the game is always the first objective," Kanazawa said.
