Sailors Lose, 5-2, as Kites Rally
Kinboshi Kites starter Keiji Tamura pitched a strong game against the Osaka Sailors at Kotei Stadium, leading the Kites to victory, 5-2. The winning pitcher was Tamura, now 12-7. He tossed 8 innings of 5-hit ball, while walking 2 and fanning 6. The Kites saw their record improve to 52-41.

Michihiro Kobashi delivered a big hit for Kinboshi. The third baseman drilled a solo home run in the top of the ninth inning to put the Kites ahead, 3-2. It was his only hit, but it was a beauty.

"We'll enjoy this win," said Kobashi. "But there's more we hope to accomplish."
