Kitamura Shines in 9-6 Kinboshi Win
Behind a fine performance from Hideyuki Kitamura, the Kinboshi Kites knocked off the Osaka Sailors, 9-6. Kitamura hit 2 home runs. He scored 3 runs and drove in 3 for the Kites. Toyoji Tsuda, summoned from the bullpen, notched his 9th save. The Kites, at 64-62, sit in third place in the Western League.

Kinboshi used a timely hit from Matabei Oyama to get the win. The pinch hitter stroked a run-scoring double in the top of the eighth inning to put the Kites ahead, 7-6. It might've been his only hit, but it did the trick.

"Nice to tuck this win away," said Oyama.
