| Bees Fall Short, 6-5, at Fukuoka | Fans witnessed a whale of a game between the Fukuoka Falcons and Vesutan Bees.
Fukuoka Falcons starter Norito Yamazaki pitched a strong game against the Vesutan Bees at Fukuoka Stadium, leading the Falcons to victory, 6-5. Kijuro Fukushima was credited with the save, his 19th in 24 tries.
Akihito Otani, who finished 2nd in the WL in wins above replacement with 6.4 last year, contributed to the Fukuoka win with a 2-run home run in the bottom of the third. For the game, the right fielder had 2 hits in 4 at-bats with 1 home run, 1 single, 1 run scored, and 2 runs batted in.
"It wasn't our best performance," said Otani, "but a win in this league is nothing to sniff at."
With the win, Fukuoka upped its record to 48-41.
