Fukuoka Falcons (73-47) 1 1 0 1 0 2 0 0 X 5 10 1
Falcons Net 5-2 Win
Toshifumi Shibuya impressed in the 5-2 Fukuoka win over Kinboshi. Shibuya, who finished 3rd in the WL in hits with 139 in 1972, was 3-4 with 2 home runs. The second-place Falcons have won 4 consecutive games.

The Falcons got a big boost from first baseman Yasuhiko Kawasaki who had a run-scoring ground out in the bottom of the first inning off Kites hurler Bill Baker. It was his 100th RBI of the season and put Fukuoka on top, 1-0.

"Other than the game," said Kawasaki, "we haven't won anything yet."
