Fukuoka starter Sadakuno Ikeda kept the Vesutan offense in check, while his team rolled to a win, 13-1. Fukuoka sits at 9-5 in the early going.

Fukuoka got a big at-bat from Tanabe, Japan native Tsuruo Akamine, who in the bottom of the fourth hit a grand slam home run. It was his 4th home run of the season and put the Falcons ahead, 9-1.

Vesutan manager Jack Fletchings summed up his team's performance in one word: "Pitiful."
