Kites Send Kobe Home with 5-3 Loss
Kinboshi and Kobe duked it out and the Kites came out victorious.

The Kites grabbed a win, 5-3, at Matsunoki Stadium, overcoming a fine effort from Kobe pitcher Tatsuharu Oto. Oto went 9 innings and allowed 5 runs. The winning pitcher was Keiji Tamura. His record now stands at 11-9. The right-hander went 7 innings, allowing 3 runs on 10 hits for the Kites. Matoba Miwa, summoned from the bullpen, notched his 14th save.

Kinboshi took a 5-3 lead on Korenaga Kurosawa's 11th home run of the season. The solo home run, which Kurosawa hit in the top of the ninth, left Kobe pitcher Tatsuharu Oto visibly frustrated.

"Banging out wins is what it's all about," said Kurosawa.

The third-place Kites go to 58-52.
