Osaka turned a fine outing from starter Natsuhiko Sugiura into a victory over the Fukuoka Falcons at Kotei Stadium. The final score was 2-1. Osaka leads the Western League by 3 games.

Osaka got a knockout punch from Bunmei Matsumura. The third baseman hammered a solo home run in the bottom of the ninth inning to win the game. It might've been his only hit, but it decided the outcome.

"It was a good effort all around," said Sugiura.
