Osaka Keeps Spiraling Downward
The losses keep piling up for the Osaka Sailors.

The Fukuoka Falcons beat the Osaka Sailors, 8-4, at Kotei Stadium. Fukuoka left fielder Ayato Sugiura had an outstanding performance. He was 3-4 with a double, 2 singles, and a walk. He scored 3 runs. Osaka is in the throes of a long losing streak, which is now 9 games.

Fukuoka used the hitting of Tsuruo Akamine to pick up the win. The right fielder clubbed a 3-run home run in the top of the third inning to put the Falcons on top, 4-3. For the game, Akamine had 1 home run and 1 single in 5 at-bats.

"Losing makes me cranky," said Osaka manager Bill Sherrill. "And right now there's a big black storm cloud above my head."
