Falcons Take Down Sailors, 4-2
The Fukuoka Falcons faced a tough opponent in Osaka pitcher Marty Carroll, but found a way to pull out the victory at Kotei Stadium by a final score of 4-2 in 14 innings. Carroll went 9 innings and allowed 1 run. The second-place Falcons go to 65-43.

Fukuoka needed the clutch hitting of Ayato Sugiura to seal the deal. The left fielder swatted a 3-run home run in the top of the 14th inning to put the Falcons on top, 4-1. For the game, Sugiura had 1 home run and 2 singles in 7 at-bats.

"All good teams, all good offenses go through challenging times," said Osaka manager Bill Sherrill. "This is another one."
