In the 6-5 Kinboshi win over Kobe, the impact of Motoji Tanaka was substantial. Tanaka, who led the JBA in stolen bases with 31 in 1947, was 2-2 with 2 singles and 3 walks, while scoring 2 runs. Nobuto Sakai was credited with the save. He has now successfully converted 6 of 7 save opportunities. With the win, the Kites have a record of 37-29.

The game turned with one out in the bottom of the sixth when Tanaka, who leads the JBA with a .491 on-base percentage, hit a run-scoring single. It propelled the Kites into the lead, 5-4.

"We were able to get some things going offensively," said Tanaka.
