| Falcons Send Kinboshi Home with 8-4 Loss | The Fukuoka Falcons picked up a win at Fukuoka Stadium, knocking off the Kinboshi Kites, 8-4. On the mound for Fukuoka was right-hander Iwao Yamamoto. He played a key role in the triumph. Yamamoto picked up the win for Fukuoka, going 7 innings. He gave up 4 runs on 6 hits. He now sports a record of 3-2. The win has Fukuoka at 12-16.
Yasuhiko Kawasaki drew 1 walk for Fukuoka. The 1974 WL home run champion had a key at-bat in the bottom of the seventh. With no one out and the bases loaded, he broke a 4-4 tie with a run-scoring walk off Kyuso Ikeda. It was his 9th walk of the season.
"When Iwao is on, he can really move the ball around," said Fukuoka manager Kamlyn Kadota. | |
