| Stars Win at Fukuoka, 5-2 | The Nagasaki Stars picked up a win at Fukuoka Stadium, topping the Fukuoka Falcons, 5-2. On the mound for Nagasaki was right-hander Akimasa Murakami. He played a principal role in the triumph. Masato Yamamoto recorded his 2nd save for Nagasaki. The win gives Nagasaki a record of 6-0.
Nagasaki catcher William Hancock contributed a timely at-bat in the top of the third. With two down, he hit a knuckle curve to right-center field for a 2-run single. It was his 4th hit of the season and put the Stars ahead, 3-1.
"I didn't leave too many pitches out over the plate," said Murakami.
