The Fukuoka Falcons scored a tight, 5-4 win versus the Kinboshi Kites at Konohana Stadium. Fukuoka pitcher Tadaatsu Miki held his own in the contest. Miki picked up the win for Fukuoka, going 7 innings. He gave up 3 runs on 7 hits. He now sports a record of 9-3. Picking up his 7th save was 32-year old left-handed pitcher Kijuro Fukushima.

Fukuoka used the timely hitting of Yukio Smith to seize the win. The shortstop stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the seventh inning to put the Falcons on top, 4-3. It was his only hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.

"We found a way to get it done," Miki said.

The losing streak for Kinboshi has now reached 4 games.
