Fukuoka Tops Osaka, 6-3
The 6-3 Fukuoka win over Osaka was due largely to Yuigo Fukunaga. The Falcons left fielder went 3-5 with 3 singles. He drove in 3 runs and scored once. Kijuro Fukushima locked down his 13th save. The Falcons, at 43-49, sit in 5th place in the Western League.

Kashiwa, Japan native Yuigo Fukunaga had a clutch at-bat in the top of the seventh for the Falcons. With Fukuoka trailing 2-1, he hit a 2-run single.

"We'll kick back tonight, then get set for the next one," Fukunaga said.
