Katagiri Lifts Falcons to 10-3 Win
Fukuoka second baseman Niito Katagiri had a 4-RBI game, which helped his team beat the Nagasaki Stars, 10-3. Norito Yamazaki, who finished 5th in the WL in strikeouts with 130 in 1958, was the winner. He's now 5-6. The loser was Takashi Masuda. The Falcons saw their win-loss record go to 37-32. At the same time, the Stars fell to 39-32.

Katagiri put Fukuoka up, 7-3, when he hit a 3-run home run off Takashi Masuda in the bottom of the fifth. His 5th home run of the season helped the Falcons capture the win.

Katagiri said afterward that "winning, obviously, is the main objective."
