Falcons Win Thriller, 10-6
The home team gave the crowd some walk-off drama.

The Fukuoka Falcons beat the Kinboshi Kites, 10-6, at Fukuoka Stadium. Yuigo Fukunaga, who finished 4th in the WL in runs with 85 in 1959, starred for Fukuoka. He was 3-4 with a home run, a triple, and a walk. He scored 3 runs and drove in 4. Reliever Kijuro Fukushima picked up the win. His record improves to 5-2. Kinya Kodama, who finished 3rd in the EL in saves with 17 in 1957, took the loss.

The game was still up for grabs in the bottom of the ninth. With one out, Fukunaga hit a fastball from Kinya Kodama for a grand slam home run. The Falcons, in dramatic fashion, had a walk-off win.

"This game was intense," Fukunaga said, postgame.

Fukuoka is second in the Western League with a record of 43-37.
