Sailors Fall to Kites Late | The Kinboshi Kites picked up a win at Konohana Stadium, dropping the Osaka Sailors, 2-1. Teruaki Koyama, who is tied for 7th in the WL in wins with 10, was the difference-maker. Kinboshi, at 66-43, holds down first place in the Western League.
Kitahachi Masuda had a clutch hit in the bottom of the eighth inning. With two men out and runners on 1st and 2nd, the Kinboshi second baseman hit a run-scoring single. That put the Kites in the lead, 2-1.
"I like our mental toughness," said Kinboshi manager Kaita Kurosawa. | |
