Stars Suffer 8-7 Road Loss
Both teams had their chances, but the Fukuoka Falcons eventually prevailed.

The Fukuoka Falcons outlasted Tokita Oishi and the Nagasaki Stars, 8-7. Oishi was impressive in the loss. The Nagasaki right fielder was 3-4 with a home run, a double, and a walk, while scoring 2 times and driving in 2. Their 61-62 record puts the Falcons 5th in the Western League.

Niito Katagiri, who finished 5th in the WL in runs with 73 in 1955, aided the Fukuoka cause with a run-scoring double in the bottom of the sixth. For the game, the second baseman was 2 for 4 with a double.

"Say want you want about this team, they play nine innings hard," said Fukuoka manager Horace Jackson.
