Morioka Jacks Two Home Runs in 6-3 Fukuoka Win
The Fukuoka Falcons knocked off the Kobe Bulls, 6-3, at Fukuoka Stadium. Meguru Morioka was a big reason Fukuoka won. The catcher was 2 for 2 with 2 home runs and 2 walks, while scoring 3 and driving in 2. Fukuoka starter Norito Yamazaki was credited with the win after throwing 118 pitches over 8 innings. His record now stands at 1-1. The Bulls, now 4-8, continue their inauspicious start.

With one out in the bottom of the second, Norito Yamazaki put Fukuoka in front, 1-0, with a run-scoring single. The Falcons went on to win the ballgame.

"I like to lead by example," said Morioka. "I'm glad I could contribute to a good win."
