| Falcons Upend Stars, 5-1 | The rain came, as predicted, but the Fukuoka Falcons and Nagasaki Stars were able to complete their ballgame.
Ryunosuke Saito pitched a gem to lead Fukuoka to victory over the Nagasaki Stars, 5-1. The Falcons, now 3-1, have played some good baseball in the early going.
The Falcons got a big at-bat from left fielder Yuigo Fukunaga. For the game, Fukunaga was 1-4 with a home run, while adding 2 RBI and scoring once. In the top of the first, with a runner on 3rd, he stroked a 2-run home run. His 1st home run of the season gave Fukuoka a 2-0 lead.
"It was a solid team effort," said Fukunaga after the game.
