Falcons Tack 5-2 Loss on Vesutan
Starting pitcher Norito Yamazaki was a major factor in the 5-2 Fukuoka Falcons triumph over the Vesutan Bees. For the Bees, the loss makes them 9-15.

Fukuoka used a well-timed hit by Niito Katagiri to capture the win. The second baseman socked a 2-run double in the top of the second inning to put the Falcons ahead, 2-0. Though it was his only hit in 3 at-bats, it was important.

"Norito was Norito," said Falcons manager Horace Jackson. "We know what we'll get whenever he takes the mound."
