Kinboshi Kites starter Narushi Nagaoka pitched a strong game against the Osaka Sailors at Konohana Stadium, leading the Kites to victory, 5-4. The third-place Kites go to 60-52.

The Kites got a clutch hit from right fielder Kesanori Kikuchi. In the bottom of the tenth, he hit a run-scoring single to center, to win the game for the Kites.

Kikuchi told a Kinboshi Daily reporter that he felt "euphoric" after the win.
