Falcons Handle Kites, Nab 2-1 Win | Tadaatsu Miki, who is tied for 8th in the WL with a 3.43 ERA, imposed his will on the Kites from the get-go. Relying mainly on his sinker, the right-hander spearheaded the 2-1 Fukuoka triumph. In 7 innings, Miki surrendered 5 hits, while striking out 5 and walking 2. He allowed 1 run. The second-place Falcons improved to 32-25.
The Falcons got a big boost from third baseman Jotaro Murakami who had a run-scoring sacrifice fly in the bottom of the first inning off Kites hurler Keiji Tamura. It was his 30th RBI of the season and put Fukuoka on top, 2-1.
"We leaned on our pitching tonight," Miki said. | |
