Fukuoka Downs Kobe, 2-0
The rain came, as predicted, but the Fukuoka Falcons and Kobe Bulls were able to complete their ballgame.

In a tight game between the Kobe Bulls and the Fukuoka Falcons, nobody was more important for the winners than Shoshichi Hanzawa. Hanzawa was masterful in the 2-0 win. Shinpo Yamasaki recorded the save, making him 19 for 21.

The Falcons had to work out of trouble in the bottom of the ninth. The score was 2-0, Fukuoka, with no one out. Kobe, with the bases empty, was mounting a threat. Takaki Smith dug in at the plate, but on a first pitch fastball, he grounded out.

Fukuoka has now won 5 games in a row.
