Stars Paddle Falcons, 12-2
Nagasaki second baseman Kin Nagasawa had a 4-RBI game, which helped his team beat the Fukuoka Falcons, 12-2. Akimasa Murakami was the winner. Over 8 innings, he yielded 1 run on 4 hits, with 1 walk and 6 strikeouts. The Falcons fall to 6-9 and continue their sub-.500 start to the 1961 season.

The Falcons had been locked in a 0-0 tie with the Stars going into the top of the second inning. That changed quickly when the 27-year old right fielder Hirotsugu Araki came to the plate. Araki hit a 2-run triple on a 0-1 fastball from Fukuoka hurler Minoru Yamamoto. It was Araki's 1st triple of the year.

Fukuoka manager Horace Jackson called the blowout loss "just something that happens from time to time."
