Multi-HR Day for Otani as Falcons Overpower Bees, 14-11
Thanks in large part to right fielder Akihito Otani, the Fukuoka Falcons beat the Vesutan Bees, 14-11. Otani hit 2 home runs, while scoring 4 times and driving in 7. Fukuoka raised its record to 33-30 with the win.

In the bottom of the eighth, Otani put his team in front with his 14th home run of the season. The grand slam home run, which came against Soseki Tanabe, made it 14-10, Fukuoka.

"This game had a little bit of everything," said Otani.
