Fukuoka Makes Osaka 9-4 Losers
No one was more impactful than Tsuruo Akamine in the 9-4 Fukuoka win over Osaka. Akamine, who finished 2nd in the WL in runs with 100 in 1973, was 1-4 with a home run, while adding 4 RBI and scoring once. The Falcons improved their record to 28-31 by beating Osaka.

Fukuoka pinch hitter Sadao Horimoto helped the Falcons go up, 5-4, in the bottom of the seventh inning. With the game tied, Horimoto hit a run-scoring single off Osaka pitcher Genpaku Matsumoto.

"We maximized our offense today," said Fukuoka skipper Kamlyn Kadota. "That makes everyone's life easier."
