Stars Suffer 6-5 Loss to Falcons
Fukuoka parlayed a decent outing from starter Minoru Yamamoto into a solid win over the Nagasaki Stars. The final score was 6-5. In 7 innings, Yamamoto surrendered 7 hits, while striking out 5 and walking 1. He allowed 2 runs. Rei Suga recorded the save for Fukuoka, his 5th of the season.

Had Takuo Kanemura not delivered a key base hit in the bottom of the seventh, the outcome might have been different. Instead, with two down and a runner on 2nd, Kanemura hit a run-scoring single. That made the score 3-2, in favor of the Falcons.

"Good win for us," said Kanemura. "Now we'll focus on the next one."

The win elevated the Falcons to 20-20.
