Otani, Falcons Too Much for Kites
In the 8-2 Fukuoka win over Kinboshi, the impact of Akihito Otani was substantial. Otani, who finished 3rd in the WL in slugging percentage with .549 last year, was 3 for 4 with a home run and 2 doubles. He scored 2 runs and drove in 5. Fukuoka currently is in second place in the Western League at 23-16.

With Fukuoka leading 3-2 in the top of the fifth, Otani hit a fastball from Yasuhiko Hidaka for a 2-run double. It was his 13th double of the season and put the Falcons ahead, 5-2.

"I really like what we did out there today," Otani said after the game.
