Falcons Fall Short, 6-5, at Nagasaki
Teruhi Hirai was instrumental in his team's 6-5 triumph over the Fukuoka Falcons. The right fielder was 4-5 with a home run and 3 singles, while scoring 2 for the Nagasaki Stars. The first-place Stars have won 4 in a row.

Nagasaki took a 5-3 lead on William Hancock's 9th double of the season. The 2-run double, which Hancock hit in the bottom of the seventh, left Fukuoka pitcher Tadaatsu Miki visibly frustrated.

"We'll relax tonight and get back after it tomorrow," Hancock said after the game.
