Fukuoka Wins, 7-6, Over Sailors
The Fukuoka Falcons overcame a pretty good performance by Osaka first baseman Kikuichi Shirai, beating the Sailors, 7-6, at Fukuoka Stadium. Shirai went 2-4 with a home run. He drove in 4 runs and scored once. Fukuoka reliever Mirai Watanabe was the winner. His record is now 3-1. The losing pitcher was Choei Teramoto. The Falcons sit in 5th place in the Western League with a record of 51-55.

Yuigo Fukunaga was the walk-off hero for Fukuoka. With the game tied in the bottom of the ninth inning, the Falcons left fielder hit a dramatic run-scoring single to send the teams home.

Fukunaga described the clubhouse as "kind of rowdy" after the game.
