Tokyo Falters Again, Loses, 10-8, to New Zealand
The New Zealand Seals besoiled an otherwise fine performance by Tokyo third baseman Kareem bin Kadir by beating the Choho, 10-8, at New Koshien Stadium. bin Kadir went 3-5 with 2 home runs. He drove in 3 runs and scored twice. The Choho have now dropped 8 straight.

New Zealand used a well-timed hit by Josh Moore to capture the win. The left fielder socked a 2-run double in the top of the third inning to put the Seals ahead, 4-2. Though it was his only hit in 4 at-bats, it was important.

"It's going to click," said Tokyo manager Danny Guzman. "It's just a matter of when."
