Stars Lose Late, 6-5
Fukuoka and Nagasaki duked it out and the Falcons came out victorious.

Fukuoka third baseman Toshifumi Shibuya made his presence felt in the 6-5 Falcons triumph over the Nagasaki Stars. Shibuya was 2 for 3 with a double and a walk. Fukuoka reliever Shinpo Yamasaki picked up the win, raising his record to 3-4. Yutaka Kameda was tagged with the loss.

Fukuoka used a timely hit from Takane Nakanishi to get the win. The right fielder stroked a run-scoring double in the top of the ninth inning to put the Falcons ahead, 6-5. It was his only hit in 1 at-bat, but it was a difference-maker.

"Winning never gets old," said Shibuya.

The Falcons saw their win-loss record go to 58-38. At the same time, the Stars fell to 44-52.
