Fukuoka center fielder Akihito Otani was a significant contributor in his team's 5-2 triumph over the Vesutan Bees. He went 3 for 4 with a home run and a double, while adding 3 RBI and scoring once for the Falcons. Minoru Yamamoto, the winner, is now 1-0. He struck out 1 and walked 2 over 7 innings, while allowing 2 runs on 6 hits. Kijuro Fukushima recorded his 2nd save for Fukuoka.

Otani contributed in the bottom of the third. With a runner on 1st, he hit a 2-run home run. It was one at-bat among others that helped Fukuoka get the win.

"The bar for us is not a particular opponent, it's ourselves," said Fukuoka manager Horace Jackson.

The Falcons, now 6-1, have been playing some good baseball.
