The Fukuoka Falcons welcomed the Kobe Bulls to an afternoon game at Matsunoki Stadium.

Ryunosuke Saito pitched a gem to lead Fukuoka to victory over the Kobe Bulls, 5-0. The winning pitcher was Saito, now 2-2. He tossed 5.2 innings of 2-hit ball, while walking 3 and fanning 6.

Fukuoka first baseman Harl Smith contributed a timely at-bat in the top of the fourth. With two down, he hit a slider to center field for a run-scoring single. It was his 13th hit of the season and put the Falcons ahead, 2-0.

"It was just a matter of executing," said Fukuoka manager Horace Jackson.

Fukuoka goes to 15-6 with the win.
