Falcons Rally to Win
The Osaka Sailors got a sterling performance from pitcher Yukiharu Goto, but the Fukuoka Falcons still prevailed, 7-5. Goto threw 7.0 innings of 4-hit ball. Shigeto Kawakami, now 2-0, was credited with the win in 1 innings of relief. He allowed no runs on no hits, while striking out 0 and walking 0. Picking up the save was 32-year old left-handed pitcher Rei Suga.

Fukuoka needed the clutch hitting of Akihito Otani to seal the deal. The center fielder swatted a 2-run home run in the top of the eighth inning to put the Falcons on top, 4-3. For the game, Otani had 1 home run and 1 single in 5 at-bats.

"The most important thing is that we won," Otani said.

With the win, Fukuoka upped its record to 24-22.
