Sailors Suffer 4-2 Home Defeat
The Fukuoka Falcons picked up a win at Kotei Stadium, knocking off the Osaka Sailors, 4-2. Starting pitcher Isaburo Muraoka was a big reason why. The winning pitcher was Muraoka, now 8-8. He tossed 9 innings of 5-hit ball, while walking 2 and fanning 5. Fukuoka is now 47-32, Osaka 22-57.

Fukuoka used a clutch at-bat from Hirobumi Takahashi to capture the win. The center fielder hammered a 3-run home run in the top of the second inning to put the Falcons ahead, 3-0. It was his lone hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a humdinger.

Fukuoka manager Kamlyn Kadota praised his team's "businesslike approach."
