Sailors Drop 5-4 Decision to Falcons
The Fukuoka Falcons topped the Osaka Sailors, 5-4, in Western League action at Fukuoka Stadium. The game was highlighted by the performance of Fukuoka pitcher Tadaatsu Miki. The third-place Falcons lifted their record to 61-57.

In the bottom of the fifth, Jotaro Murakami delivered a clutch hit. With two gone and runners on 1st and 2nd, the Fukuoka third baseman hit a 2-run double, putting the Falcons in front, 5-4.

"It takes a lot of things to win a ballgame," said Fukuoka manager Horace Jackson. "It's usually not just one thing."
