Fukunaga Stars for Falcons in 8-5 Win
The Fukuoka Falcons began the 1962 season with a convincing 8-5 win over the Osaka Sailors at Fukuoka Stadium. Most impressive was Fukuoka left fielder Yuigo Fukunaga, who was 3 for 4 with a home run, 2 singles, and a walk, while adding 4 RBI and scoring once. The winning pitcher was six-time All-Star Tadaatsu Miki. He tossed 112 pitches over 9 innings, allowing 5 runs on 7 hits.

In the bottom of the first, Fukunaga had a 2-run home run for Fukuoka. It was his 1st home run of the season and put the Falcons on top, 2-0.

"We took advantage of our opportunities," Fukunaga told the Fukuoka Observer. "It's as simple as that."
