Falcons Land Close Win
Fukuoka beat Vesutan at Fukuoka Stadium, escaping with a 6-5 win in 10 innings. The win in large part was due to pinch hitter Sadao Horimoto. He went 1-1 with a home run. He drove in 3 runs and scored once. Fukuoka is 30-36 and Vesutan, with the loss, 33-33.

The clutch at-bat came in the bottom of the tenth inning, when Fukuoka pinch hitter Kazunari Suzuki, facing Toshimichi Yamamoto, had a run-scoring sacrifice fly. It gave the Falcons the 6-5 win.

"To not win that game stings a little bit," said Vesutan manager Jack Fletchings.
