Conditions were not ideal but Fukuoka and Vesutan were able to put their game in the books.

Starting pitcher Iwao Yamamoto pitched well enough to help the Fukuoka Falcons beat the Vesutan Bees, 5-4. Yamamoto yielded 3 runs over 8 innings to notch the win. He scattered 4 hits, walked 3, and struck out 4. His record improves to 2-2. Shinpo Yamasaki got the save, the 2nd for him this season.

Yasuhiko Kawasaki, who finished 2nd in the WL in slugging percentage with .582 last year, chipped in a run-scoring single for Fukuoka in the top of the fifth. For the game, the first baseman had 2 hits in 4 at-bats with 1 home run, 1 single, 1 run scored, and 2 RBI.

"It takes a lot of things to win a ballgame," said Fukuoka manager Kamlyn Kadota. "It's usually not just one thing."

The loss drops Vesutan to 11-12.
