Falcons Deal Sailors 9-2 Defeat
Fukuoka Falcons starter Minoru Yamamoto had all his pitches working at Kotei Stadium. His stellar performance paved the way for an easy 9-2 Fukuoka win over the Osaka Sailors. The win elevated the Falcons to 51-45.

Fukuoka relied on the bat of Yuigo Fukunaga to get the win. The left fielder ripped a 2-run double in the top of the third inning to put the Falcons ahead, 3-0. For the game, Fukunaga had 1 double and 1 triple in 3 at-bats.

"They just got us," said Osaka manager Heikichi Kawasaki, "and that's all I can say."
