Kites Shut Out Bees, 8-0
Fans were not deterred by the threat of rain. They came to see their hometown Vesutan Bees take on the Kinboshi Kites.

Boosted by the 2-hit performance of Taketoshi Shimabukuro, who is tied for 9th in the WL in home runs with 17, the Kinboshi Kites defeated the Vesutan Bees, 8-0. The win lifted the Kinboshi record to 66-54.

The Bees had been locked in a 0-0 tie with the Kites going into the top of the third inning. That changed quickly when the seven-time All-Star Mitsuyasu Takeno came to the plate. Takeno hit a 3-run home run on a first pitch fastball from Vesutan hurler Genjo Fujii. It was Takeno's 18th home run of the year.

Said losing manager Jim Harper: "At the end of the day, we've got to play better."
