At Fukuoka Stadium, the Vesutan Bees and Fukuoka Falcons were greeted by an enthusiastic crowd.

Fukuoka parlayed a decent outing from starter Iwao Yamamoto into a solid win over the Vesutan Bees. The final score was 5-2. The second-place Falcons go to 42-30.

In the bottom of the first inning, first baseman Yasuhiko Kawasaki had a 3-run home run for Fukuoka. It was his 22nd home run of the season and put the Falcons on top, 3-0.

"It takes a lot of things to win a ballgame," said Fukuoka manager Kamlyn Kadota. "It's usually not just one thing."
