Late Rally Earns Fukuoka 4-2 Win
The 4-2 Fukuoka win over Vesutan was due in large part to Yasuhiko Kawasaki. The Falcons first baseman was 3-3 with a home run, 2 singles, and was hit by a pitch, while scoring 2 times. The winner was Fukuoka reliever Shinpo Yamasaki, now 5-6. The loser was Masatoshi Sakai. The second-place Falcons go to 78-56.

The game was at a stalemate until left fielder Ayato Sugiura came to bat in the bottom of the eighth. Facing Vesutan pitcher Masatoshi Sakai, he hit a 2-2 changeup for a run-scoring single. It was a game-changer, putting Fukuoka on top, 3-2.

"Do what you're good at," said Fukuoka manager Kamlyn Kadota. "That's all I ask of the team."
