Fukuoka Falcons starter Norito Yamazaki found his groove in his team's 6-3 win over the Kobe Bulls. Yamazaki yielded 3 runs over 8 innings to notch the win. He scattered 5 hits, walked 4, and struck out 4. His record improves to 8-9. With the win, Fukuoka pushed its record to 48-46.

The Falcons got a big hit from catcher Meguru Morioka. Facing Kobe pitcher Toshitada Morino in the bottom of the sixth, Morioka pounded a run-scoring double to right-center. His 4th double of the season put the Falcons ahead, 3-2.

Yamazaki called the win "a lesson in teamwork."
