Otani Slugs 2 Home Runs, Falcons Beat Kites, 11-7
Fukuoka center fielder Akihito Otani played a vital role in his team's 11-7 conquest of Kinboshi. He went 3 for 5 with 2 home runs and a double, while adding 7 RBI and scoring twice for Fukuoka. The winner was Mirai Watanabe, who threw 110 pitches over 6.2 innings. The right-hander was charged with 6 runs on 8 hits. Kinboshi's current losing streak has reached 4 games.

Otani had a key at-bat for Fukuoka in the bottom of the first. With runners on 1st and 2nd, he hit a 3-run home run. It was his 14th home run of the season and gave Fukuoka an early 3-0 lead.

"We need to keep playing good baseball," Otani told the Fukuoka Times.
