Enthusiastic fans came out to support the home team at Fukuoka Stadium.

The Fukuoka Falcons topped the Osaka Sailors, 3-0, in Western League action at Fukuoka Stadium. The game was highlighted by the performance of Fukuoka pitcher Minoru Yamamoto. Yamamoto yielded no runs over 8 innings to notch the win. He scattered 7 hits, walked 1, and struck out 2. His record improves to 7-9. Yuushuu Nakata closed the door for Fukuoka, picking up his 8th save of the year.

Fukuoka took the lead, 2-0, on Meguru Morioka's 12th home run of the season. The solo home run came off Osaka pitcher Yataroh Niwa in the bottom of the seventh.

"I like the vibe in the clubhouse after a win," said Morioka. "It sure beats the alternative."

The Falcons are now 45-43, while the Sailors fall to 44-41.
