The Fukuoka Falcons topped the Nagasaki Stars, 10-1, at Nagasaki Prefecture Stadium. Fukuoka center fielder Akihito Otani was a spark plug for the offense. He went 3 for 5 with a home run and 2 singles. He scored 3 runs and drove in 2. Tadaatsu Miki was the winner. Over 7.2 innings, he yielded 1 run on 7 hits, with 3 walks and 5 strikeouts. The win gives Fukuoka a season record of 58-57.

Otani had an important at-bat with runners on 1st and 3rd in the top of the sixth, when he reached on an error by the 3B, driving in 1 run. The Falcons went on to win.

"We'll relax tonight and get back after it tomorrow," Otani said after the game.
