The rain did not keep Fukuoka and Kobe from finishing their game.

The Fukuoka Falcons topped the Kobe Bulls, 5-4, in Western League action at Fukuoka Stadium. The standout performance belonged to Fukuoka pitcher and Toyokawa, Japan, native Ryunosuke Saito. Earning the save was Kijuro Fukushima. He's now cashed in 15 of 19 save opportunities.

In the bottom of the fifth, Fukuoka left fielder Yuigo Fukunaga had a productive at-bat. With a runner on 3rd and no one out, Fukunaga stroked a run-scoring single to center. It made the score 5-0, Fukuoka. For the game, he was 1-4.

"Feels good to get the job done," Saito said after the game.
