Kites Suffer One-Run Loss at Kobe
Kinboshi got a terrific game from left fielder Mitsuyasu Takeno. It wasn't enough, though, to prevent the team from falling to Kobe, 6-5. Takeno went 3 for 4 with a double and 2 singles. He drove in 2 runs and scored once. Kiyomitsu Wada was the winner. Over 7.2 innings, he yielded 5 runs on 8 hits, with 2 walks and 4 strikeouts. The 4th-place Kites have lost 4 straight games.

Ryuunosuke Okamoto had a big solo home run for the Bulls in the bottom of the sixth inning. With Kobe leading 5-3 and the bases empty, he got a cutter from Ienari Takagi, who finished 2nd in the WL in saves with 5 in 1951, and swatted a home run to right-center. It was his 7th home run of the season, and more importantly, it put the Bulls ahead, 6-3.

"Trying isn't good enough in this league," said Okamoto. "You've got to get results."
