Akamine Lifts Falcons to 13-12 Triumph
In a game featuring no shortage of runs, the Fukuoka Falcons defeated the Nagasaki Stars, 13-12. One of the hitting stars was Fukuoka right fielder Tsuruo Akamine. Akamine, who finished 4th in the WL in OPS with .962 in 1971, hit 2 home runs, while scoring 3 runs and driving in 3. Fukuoka has 7 straight wins, Nagasaki 3 straight losses.

Fukuoka needed the clutch hitting of Yasuhiko Kawasaki to seal the deal. The first baseman swatted a grand slam home run in the top of the eighth inning to put the Falcons on top, 11-7. For the game, Kawasaki had 1 home run and 1 single in 5 at-bats.

Nagasaki manager Okura Ichimura said he was disappointed with the loss. "Whenever you score that many runs, you expect to win the game."
