The rain came, as predicted, but the Fukuoka Falcons and Kobe Bulls were able to complete their ballgame.

Fukuoka Falcons starter Rei Matsumura hurled his team past the Kobe Bulls, 6-2. Matsumura, now 6-1, was the winner. In 9 innings, he gave up 8 hits, while striking out 5, walking 1, and allowing 2 runs.

The Falcons got a big at-bat from right fielder Tsuruo Akamine. For the game, Akamine was 1 for 4 with a double and a walk, while adding 2 RBI and scoring once. In the top of the first, with runners on 2nd and 3rd, he stroked a 2-run double. His 7th double of the season gave Fukuoka a 2-0 lead.

"I didn't want to let them take the game from my hands," said Matsumura.

Fukuoka raised its record to 25-13 with the win.
