Falcons vs Kites Ends in Tie
Not every game ends with a clear winner. Case in point: the tightly-contested game between Fukuoka and Kinboshi, which ended in a tie, 5-5.

Meguru Morioka did all he could to help his team scratch out a win. He was 3-5 with a home run and 2 singles. He drove in 2 runs and scored once. But it was not enough.
