Sailors Defeat Falcons in 10
Osaka second baseman Jiro Koda contributed significantly to his team's 5-4 win over the Fukuoka Falcons. Koda, who finished 2nd in the WL in triples with 6 in 1969, went 2 for 4 with 3 runs scored to lead the offensive attack for the Sailors. Haruki Ogawa, now 3-6, was credited with the win in 2 innings of relief. He allowed no runs on no hits, while striking out 1 and walking 0. The victory puts Osaka at 45-76.

Koda had a game-changing home run in the top of the tenth. On a 0-2 fastball from Tatsuhito Watanabe, he banged a solo home run to left, giving the Sailors a 5-4 lead. It was the 12th home run of the year for Koda.

"It took some doing, but we got what we came for," said Sailors manager Bill Sherrill.
