Falcons Victorious at Kobe, 5-2
The Fukuoka Falcons rode a solid performance from 34-year-old starting pitcher Tadaatsu Miki to a win, beating the Kobe Bulls, 5-2, at Matsunoki Stadium. Yuushuu Nakata collected his 1st save. The Bulls drop to 10-10 and continue their mediocre start to the 1963 season.

A defensive lapse proved costly in the contest. In the top of the sixth, with the game tied, Akihito Otani was at the plate when Fukuoka scored 2 on an error. The miscue enabled the Falcons to go in front, 4-2.

Otani called the win the result of "everyone working in tandem."
