Falcons Deal Stars 6-2 Loss
Fans brought energy and enthusiasm to the Nagasaki Stars home opener. Naoto Yoshinaga started for the home team against Tadaatsu Miki for the Fukuoka Falcons. The Stars were unable to reward the home crowd with a win. The final score was 6-2, Fukuoka. Harl Smith, though, was impressive.

Smith had a game-changing home run in the top of the sixth. On a full count fastball from Tai Shimabukuro, he banged a 3-run home run to left, giving the Falcons a 4-2 lead. It was the 1st home run of the year for Smith.

"We cashed in when we had the chance," said Fukuoka manager Horace Jackson.
