| Fukuoka Wins, 8-5 | Spirited fans greeted the Nagasaki Stars for their clash with the Fukuoka Falcons.
The Fukuoka Falcons bested the Nagasaki Stars, 8-5, at Nagasaki Prefecture Stadium. Yasuhiko Kawasaki was one of the standouts. He was 1 for 2 with a home run and 3 walks. He drove in 3 runs and scored once. Tsugunosuke Ohashi earned the win after being brought in from the bullpen. The right-hander allowed 2 runs on 3 hits in 3 innings. His record is now 1-2.
Hirobumi Takahashi went 1-4 for Fukuoka. The three-time All-Star had a key at-bat in the top of the fifth. With one out and the bases loaded, he broke a 1-1 tie with a run-scoring sacrifice fly off Natsuhisa Morinaga. It was his 12th RBI of the season.
"It all comes down to execution," said Fukuoka manager Kamlyn Kadota. "Baseball 101."
