| Falcons Beat Stars, 6-5 | The rain did not keep Fukuoka and Nagasaki from finishing their game.
The Fukuoka Falcons did just enough to sneak past the Nagasaki Stars, 6-5, at Nagasaki Prefecture Stadium. Fukuoka right fielder Takane Nakanishi, in particular, had a standout performance. Uchuu Fujimoto closed the game out for Fukuoka, earning his 1st save.
Fukuoka used a clutch at-bat from Jotaro Murakami to capture the win. The third baseman hammered a 3-run home run in the top of the first inning to put the Falcons ahead, 3-0. It was his lone hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a humdinger.
"Good team win," Murakami said. "I love it when a plan comes together."
At 31-25, Fukuoka is in second place in the Western League.
