Great Day for Shiotani -- 5 Hits
The Vesutan Bees stopped the Nagasaki Stars by a score of 17-5 at Fukuoka Stadium, with the lion's share of the credit going to shortstop Masao Shiotani. The 29-year-old had a career day, collecting 5 hits.

"Every batter wants to have a quality at-bat every time he steps up to the plate," Shiotani said later. "He wants to hit the ball hard."

Shiotani did just that in his 5 at-bats, much to the chagrin of the Stars.

"Not much that I can say," offered Nagasaki manager Eddie Roseman. "He just hammered the heck out of us."

Masao Shiotani singled in the 1st, hit an RBI single in the 3rd, doubled in the 5th, hit a two-run home run off Akimasa Murakami in the 7th, walked in the 8th and hit a two-run double in the 8th.

This season, Shiotani is batting .361 with 2 home runs.
