| Falcons Drop Kites, 6-2 | Fukuoka Falcons starter Tsuneteru Fujiwara turned in an exceptional performance against the Kinboshi Kites at Konohana Stadium, resulting in a Fukuoka win, 6-2. Fukuoka goes to 55-47, Kinboshi to 47-54.
Itaru Nakamura had a big 3-run home run for the Falcons in the top of the fifth inning. With Fukuoka leading 2-0 and runners on 2nd and 3rd, he sized up a fastball from Kyuso Ikeda, the first overall pick in the 1970 draft, and punished it. The result was his 13th home run of the season, which put the Falcons on top, 5-0.
"I think we did a good job of looking for pitches we wanted to hit and put good swings on them," said Fukuoka skipper Kamlyn Kadota. | |
