Down to Defeat Go Bees, 11-7
The Fukuoka Falcons besoiled an otherwise fine performance by Vesutan right fielder Motoshige Tamura by beating the Bees, 11-7, at Fukuoka Stadium. Tamura was 3 for 3 with a double, 2 singles, and a walk. He scored 2 times and drove in 2. Rei Matsumura got the win, improving to 13-1. He worked 7.2 innings, giving up 7 runs on 8 hits, while striking out 6 and walking 5. The second-place Falcons go to 43-30.

Fukuoka got a lift in the bottom of the fourth from third baseman Toshifumi Shibuya, who hit a fastball to left for a grand slam home run. His 13th home run of the season put the Falcons up, 7-5.

"Banging out wins is what it's all about," said Shibuya.
