Kinboshi got a terrific game from second baseman Kitahachi Masuda. It wasn't enough, though, to prevent the team from falling to Fukuoka, 5-4. Masuda went 3 for 4 with a home run, a double, and a walk. Fukuoka is now 8-8.

Yuigo Fukunaga drove in one run for Fukuoka. The two-time All-Star had a key at-bat in the top of the seventh. With one out and runners on 1st and 3rd, he broke a 3-3 tie with a run-scoring ground out off Kannon Kato. It was his 9th RBI of the season.

"I was a little disappointed," said Kinboshi manager Kaita Kurosawa. "We could've and should've scored more runs."
