Both teams had their chances, but the Fukuoka Falcons eventually prevailed.

The Fukuoka Falcons defeated the Vesutan Bees, 7-6, at Fukuoka Stadium. Fukuoka was led by eight-time All-Star Kazuaki Mukai, who was 2 for 4 with a home run, while adding 3 RBI and scoring once. Kijuro Fukushima, summoned from the bullpen, notched his 6th save.

With Fukuoka leading 1-0 in the top of the third, Mukai hit a splitter from Genjo Fujii for a 3-run home run. It was his 2nd home run of the season and put the Falcons ahead, 4-0.

"Nothing is scripted in this game," said Mukai.

Fukuoka has run its win streak to 4 consecutive.
