Kites Edge Bees, 6-5
The Kinboshi Kites did just enough to sneak past the Vesutan Bees, 6-5, at Fukuoka Stadium. Kinboshi second baseman Motoji Tanaka, in particular, had a standout performance. The Kites sit in first place in the Japanese Baseball Association with a record of 43-31.

Haruhisa Nakagawa, the 27-year old catcher , had a direct impact on the outcome. Nakagawa contributed a bases-clearing double in the top of the first inning to put Kinboshi up, 4-0.

Tanaka told the Kinboshi Herald: "Win or lose, I don't want to see our team outhustled."
