Kinboshi Loses, 6-3, in 12
The Fukuoka Falcons defeated the Kinboshi Kites, 6-3, in 12 innings. Itaru Nakamura, who is tied for 9th in the WL in extra base hits with 5, played a big role. Nakamura was 3-4 with a home run, 2 singles, a walk, and was hit by a pitch, while scoring 3 runs and driving in 2 for the Falcons in the win. Kinboshi is 4-11 after the defeat.

Fukuoka needed the clutch hitting of Tsuruo Akamine to seal the deal. The right fielder swatted a 2-run home run in the top of the 12th inning to put the Falcons on top, 5-3. For the game, Akamine had 1 home run and 1 single in 6 at-bats.

"A lot to like, just frustrated that we came up short," said Kinboshi manager Frank Moore.
