Akamine Slugs Falcons to 8-4 Win
Tsuruo Akamine, who finished 5th in the WL in triples with 4 in 1973, knocked in 3 runs to help the Fukuoka Falcons win, 8-4, over the Kobe Bulls. Picking up the win was Rei Matsumura. He went 9 innings, allowing 4 runs on 11 hits. The right--hander struck out 2 and walked 0. Fukuoka has run its win streak to 7 consecutive.

Fukuoka third baseman Toshifumi Shibuya helped the Falcons go up, 4-2, in the top of the sixth inning. With the game tied, Shibuya hit a 2-run single off Kobe pitcher Yoshimatsu Yamamura.

"In this profession, you've got to put the good and the bad behind you quickly," Kobe skipper Ikuhiko Murata said.
