Kites Spill Sailors, 8-5
The Kinboshi Kites topped the Osaka Sailors, 8-5, in Western League action at Kotei Stadium. The game was highlighted by the performance of Kinboshi third baseman Fumisato Muramoto. Kinboshi is now 65-62. Osaka is 35-92.

Kinboshi won the game in part because of Fusao Tokunaga. The first baseman ripped a run-scoring double in the top of the first inning to put the Kites ahead, 1-0. For the game, Tokunaga had 1 double and 1 home run in 4 at-bats.

"It was a solid team effort," said Muramoto after the game.
