Katagiri Lifts Falcons to 12-7 Win
The Fukuoka Falcons used the hitting of second baseman Niito Katagiri to subdue the Vesutan Bees, 12-7. For the game, Katagiri was 4-5 with a home run and 3 singles. He scored 3 runs and drove in 3. The win was credited to 29-year old right-handed pitcher Kuranosuke Takashima in relief. His record improves to 1-0. Sadatake Suzuki took the loss. Fukuoka goes to 4-1.

With Fukuoka leading 7-6 in the bottom of the fourth, Katagiri hit a cutter from Tetsuya Watanabe for a 2-run home run. It was his 1st home run of the season and put the Falcons ahead, 9-6.

"We'll put this win in our pocket and go after the next one," said Katagiri.
