Big Day by Sugiura Ignites Falcons Win
Fukuoka and Osaka put this game in the books despite some rain.

The 3-hit performance of Ayato Sugiura, who finished 3rd in the WL in on-base percentage with .431 in 1972, helped the Fukuoka Falcons beat the Osaka Sailors, 7-1. The loss makes Osaka 15-30.

Fukuoka used the hitting of Toshifumi Shibuya to pick up the win. The third baseman clubbed a 2-run home run in the top of the first inning to put the Falcons on top, 3-0. For the game, Shibuya had 1 home run and 1 single in 4 at-bats.

"We played a good game and came out on top," said Sugiura.
