Fukuoka Tacks 5-2 Loss on Kobe
The Fukuoka Falcons and Kobe Bulls completed their game despite the inclement weather.

Behind an impressive start by Iwao Yamamoto, Fukuoka beat Kobe, 5-2. The loss makes Kobe 3-6.

Itaru Nakamura had a big 3-run home run for the Falcons in the bottom of the sixth inning. With Fukuoka leading 2-1 and runners on 1st and 2nd, he sized up a changeup from Roku Yamakawa, who finished 2nd in the WL in innings pitched with 245.0 in 1973, and punished it. The result was his 1st home run of the season, which put the Falcons on top, 5-1.

Said losing manager Ikuhiko Murata: "Obviously, we wished for a better outcome."
