Falcons Beat Bulls, 8-4
Fukuoka picked up a win at Matsunoki Stadium, bumping off the Kobe Bulls, 8-4. Pitcher Norito Yamazaki was a major reason the Falcons emerged victorious. In 7 innings, Yamazaki surrendered 7 hits, while striking out 5 and walking 0. He allowed 3 runs. Fukuoka bumps their record to 54-55 with the win.

The Falcons grabbed the lead in the top of the fifth. With two out, Jotaro Murakami, who finished 5th in the WL in hits with 133 in 1955, hit a 2-run home run off Toshitada Morino, putting Fukuoka in front, 4-3. For Murakami, it was his 10th home run of the season.

"Scoring runs is scoring runs," said Fukuoka skipper Horace Jackson. "It's important to have different ways to do it."
