Falcons Hand Nagasaki 8-1 Loss
Fukuoka pitcher Shuuji Ishii did his part in helping his team beat the Nagasaki Stars, 8-1. The right-hander kept opposing batters from doing too much damage. Ishii, who is tied for 10th in the WL with a 3.49 ERA, went the distance for Fukuoka. He gave up 1 run on 6 hits. Fukuoka is in second place in the Western League with a record of 60-50.

Shunji Yamanaka had a big grand slam home run for the Falcons in the bottom of the first inning. With Fukuoka leading 1-0 and the bases loaded, he sized up a fastball from Johnny Travis, who is tied for 10th in the WL with a 5.3 K/9 rate, and punished it. The result was his 5th home run of the season, which put the Falcons on top, 5-0.

"We'll need a much better effort, the next time out," said losing manager Okura Ichimura.
