Red-Hot Kuma Win Again
Masaharu Date did all he could to help his team win. In the end, though, it wasn't enough to keep the Seki Katanakaji from being beaten, 10-9, to the Kumamoto Kuma at Kuma Stadium. Date was 4-4 with 4 singles and a walk. He drove in 2 runs and scored once. Hidenosuke Suzuki got credit for the win, improving to 15-14. He allowed 7 runs on 14 hits in 6.1 innings. Ben Lowe was called on to finish, recording his 5th save.

Kirby Kavanagh had a big bases-clearing triple for the Kuma in the bottom of the first inning. With Kumamoto leading 1-0 and the bases loaded, he got a sinker from 37-year old right-handed pitcher Quilvio Argueta and swatted a triple to right-center. It was his 7th triple of the season, and more importantly, it put the Kuma ahead, 4-0.

"This team is hotter than heck," said Kumamoto manager Plinio Cortez.

The Kuma raised their record to 68-53.
