Falcons Pull Off Thrilling 3-2 Win in Extras
The skies opened up and the rain fell at Vesutan Stadium.

Fukuoka turned a good performance from starting pitcher Isaburo Muraoka into a 3-2 triumph over the Vesutan Bees in 11 innings at Vesutan Stadium. The loss makes Vesutan 41-47.

Fukuoka used a clutch hit from Kazunari Suzuki to get the win. The pinch hitter drilled a solo home run in the top of the 11th inning to put the Falcons ahead, 3-2. It was his only hit in 1 at-bat, but it was a game-changer.

"We played a good game and came out on top," said Muraoka.
