Falcons Net 3-0 Win
Behind an impressive start by Tsuneteru Fujiwara, Fukuoka beat Kinboshi, 3-0. Fujiwara picked up the win for Fukuoka, going 8.2 innings. He gave up no runs on 7 hits. He now sports a record of 1-0. Tatsuhito Watanabe nailed down his 2nd save.

The Kites had been locked in a 0-0 tie with the Falcons going into the bottom of the sixth inning. That changed quickly when the 30-year old center fielder Hirobumi Takahashi came to the plate. Takahashi hit a 2-run home run on a 1-2 changeup from Kinboshi hurler Bill Baker. It was Takahashi's 9th home run of the year.

"Tsuneteru pitches well when he gets lathered up," said Fukuoka manager Kamlyn Kadota.

The third-place Kites dropped to 47-43.
