Falcons Deal Bees 11-4 Loss
Fukuoka catcher Meguru Morioka made his presence felt in the 11-4 Falcons triumph over the Vesutan Bees. Morioka went 3-4 with 3 singles and a walk. He scored 3 runs. Fukuoka is now 14-5.

Yuigo Fukunaga had a big 2-run home run for the Falcons in the top of the third inning. With Fukuoka trailing 2-1 and a runner on 1st, he sized up a sinker from 29-year old right-handed pitcher Genichi Tsukamoto and punished it. The result was his 3rd home run of the season, which put the Falcons on top, 3-2.

"I felt good up there," said Fukunaga. "I saw the ball well."
