Falcons Win at Home, 8-5
The Fukuoka Falcons downed the Osaka Sailors, 8-5, at Fukuoka Stadium. The Falcons were led by Takane Nakanishi. Nakanishi was 3 for 4 with a home run, 2 singles, and was hit by a pitch, while scoring 2. Norito Yamazaki picked up the win, lifting his record to 1-0 on the season. He struck out 0 and walked 0 in 8 innings, while yielding 5 runs. The Falcons, now 3-0, have stormed out of the gates.

In the top of the ninth, Kikuichi Shirai stood in the box, looking for a pitch to hammer. The Sailors were trailing 8-5, but had the bases loaded. That's when Kijuro Fukushima made a terrific pitch and Shirai struck out. Gone was the dream of a Osaka comeback.
