Falcons Continue Skid, Thanks to Kobayashi, Kites
The umbrellas came out during the Kinboshi-Fukuoka contest at Fukuoka Stadium.

Kinboshi center fielder Yutaka Kobayashi was instrumental in helping the Kites triumph, 14-7, over the Fukuoka Falcons. Kobayashi slugged 2 home runs. He drove in 5 runs and scored twice. Fukuoka's current losing streak has reached 4 games.

Kinboshi won the game in part because of Taketoshi Shimabukuro. The left fielder ripped a 3-run home run in the top of the first inning to put the Kites ahead, 3-0. For the game, Shimabukuro had 1 double and 1 home run in 4 at-bats.

"Winning the game is always the first objective," Shimabukuro said.
