The Kinboshi Kites converted a terrific effort from starter Ryusuke Maeda into a win over the Fukuoka Falcons at Konohana Stadium. The Kites won the game by a final score of 8-2.

The Kites grabbed the lead in the bottom of the first. With two out, two-time All-Star Kitahachi Masuda hit a 3-run home run off Ryunosuke Saito, putting Kinboshi in front, 3-1. For Masuda, it was his 19th home run of the season.

"We're on a roll," said Kites manager Kaita Kurosawa.
