Kites Lose at Home, 3-2 | The Kinboshi Kites and Fukuoka Falcons fought to the finish at Konohana Stadium.
Fukuoka got a big-time effort from pitcher Ryunosuke Saito, but it wasn't enough to keep the Kinboshi Kites from winning the game, 3-2. Saito threw 8.0 innings of 7-hit ball for the losing team. Kinya Kodama got the save, his 20th in 29 chances.
Taketoshi Shimabukuro, who is on pace for 90 RBI this season, had a direct impact on the outcome. Shimabukuro contributed a 2-run single in the top of the third inning to put Kinboshi up, 2-0.
"Every loss stings," said Fukuoka manager Horace Jackson. "This one is no exception."
With the win, the Kites have a record of 70-55. | |
