Soggy conditions did not keep Kinboshi and Vesutan from playing their scheduled game.

A 3-RBI performance from Taketoshi Shimabukuro, who is tied for 7th in the WL in RBI with 67, helped the Kinboshi Kites beat the Vesutan Bees, 8-3. Gene Walker got credit for the win, improving to 9-6. He allowed 3 runs on 2 hits in 5.1 innings.

Shimabukuro got the Kites off to a quick start. In the top of the first, with the bases loaded, he hit a 2-run single.

"We didn't pitch good, and when you don't pitch good, you lose," said Vesutan manager Jim Harper.

With the win, Kinboshi pushed its record to 57-50.
