Sailors Knock Off Kites, 4-3
The Osaka Sailors scored a tight, 4-3 win versus the Kinboshi Kites at Kotei Stadium. Osaka pitcher Kinnosuke Shimabukuro held his own in the contest. The winner was Shimabukuro. He threw 8.1 innings of 5-hit ball. The loser was Kyuso Ikeda. Haruki Ogawa sewed up the save, his 9th.

There were several reasons the Sailors beat the Kites, but one factor was Tomohito Takahashi. In the bottom of the fifth, the Osaka first baseman came to bat and hit a run-scoring single. It staked his team to a 4-3 lead.

"If we play like this, we can win a lot of games," Shimabukuro told the Osaka Citizen.

Osaka is last in the Western League with a record of 28-69.
