Kites Pick Up 6-2 Win
The Kinboshi Kites rode a solid performance from 24-year-old starting pitcher Keiji Tamura to a win, beating the Kobe Bulls, 6-2, at Konohana Stadium. Kinboshi has a record of 64-43, placing them first in the Western League.

There were several reasons the Kites beat the Bulls, but one factor was Ayahito Yamamoto. In the bottom of the fifth, the Kinboshi shortstop came to bat and hit a run-scoring single. It staked his team to a 2-1 lead.

"This was a nice win for us," said Yamamoto. "It's one more step toward our ultimate goal."
