Bees Pull Back to .500 With Win Over Kingfishers
Vesutan took on Yokohama in front of a lively crowd.

Yoshizumi Smith led Vesutan to a win over Yokohama. The final score was 12-4. Smith scored 2 times, while going 4 for 6. The third baseman also was credited with 3 runs batted in. Nariakira Yamada was the winner. Over 9 innings, he allowed 4 runs on 9 hits, with 1 walk and 3 strikeouts.

Kikuzo Sakai, the 26-year old shortstop , had a direct impact on the outcome. Sakai contributed a run-scoring walk in the top of the first inning to put Vesutan up, 2-0.

"Getting a lot of baserunners and getting some timely hits, it's a good combination," said Sakai.

The 4th-place Bees are now 15-15, the Kingfishers 14-16.
