Kites Send Vesutan Home with 7-3 Loss
Though the conditions were not ideal, the Kinboshi Kites and Vesutan Bees came back from a rain delay to finish their game.

Kinboshi second baseman Hideyuki Kitamura helped his team beat the Vesutan Bees, 7-3. Kitamura, who is tied for 8th in the WL in stolen bases with 14, went 3 for 4 for the Kites. The winning pitcher was Keiji Tamura. His record now stands at 12-9. The right-hander went 7 innings, allowing 3 runs on 10 hits for the Kites.

Kinboshi used the timely hitting of Kesanori Kikuchi to capture the win. The right fielder socked a 3-run home run in the top of the sixth inning to put the Kites ahead, 7-3. It was his only hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a big one.

Kinboshi manager Frank Moore was pleased with the team's effort. "Our guys went out there and put good wood on the ball," he said.

Kinboshi, at 62-52, occupies third place in the Western League.
