Victory Over Sailors Takes Fukuoka to 19-12
Fukuoka and Osaka took Mother Nature's best shot and still managed to complete their ballgame.

The Fukuoka Falcons topped the Osaka Sailors, 7-4, with center fielder Akihito Otani playing a big role. Otani was 2 for 4 with a home run, a double, and a walk, while scoring 2 runs and driving in 2 for the Falcons in the win. Getting the save was Kijuro Fukushima, his 7th.

Harl Smith hit a 2-run double off Takahiko Kurata in the bottom of the fifth, which put the Falcons in front, 4-2. In addition to the double, Smith had 1 single, while going 2 for 5.

"We take it day by day here," said Smith, "and today was a good one for us."

The victory gives Fukuoka a record of 19-12.
