Akamine Helps Fukuoka Cruise to 10-3 Win
Tsuruo Akamine was a vital contributor to the 10-3 Fukuoka victory over Osaka. The Falcons right fielder went 3-4 with a home run, a double, and a walk, while scoring 3 and driving in 2. Isaburo Muraoka was the winner. Over 9 innings, he yielded 3 runs on 6 hits, with 1 walk and 4 strikeouts. The defeat makes Osaka 26-48.

Ayato Sugiura had a key at-bat with one out in the top of the eighth for Fukuoka. With the bases loaded and the Falcons leading 1-0, he drew a walk, driving in 1 run.

"I'm just looking for a good pitch that I can hit well," said Sugiura. "And not try to do too much."
