Kites Beat Bees, 8-3
The Kinboshi Kites picked up a win at Konohana Stadium, topping the Vesutan Bees, 8-3. On the mound for Kinboshi was right-hander Gene Walker. He played a principal role in the triumph. Josuke Fujimori wrapped it up, recording his 1st save. Kinboshi is now 47-45, Vesutan 43-44.

The Bees had been locked in a 2-2 tie with the Kites going into the bottom of the fifth inning. That changed quickly when the 29-year old second baseman Kitahachi Masuda came to the plate. Masuda hit a run-scoring double on a 0-1 fastball from Vesutan hurler Genjo Fujii. It was Masuda's 14th double of the year.

"Main thing is I want the team to win," Walker told a reporter after the game. "Just have to go out there, take care of my job, and give my team a chance to win."
