Oto Too Tough, Blanks Vesutan
The Vesutan Bees met their match today in Kobe hurler Tatsuharu Oto. He kept them guessing the whole game and spun a 2-hit shutout.

"He just worked us over," Vesutan skipper Jack Fletchings said. "He probably didn't even need a shower after the game -- he barely worked up a sweat."

In the 3-0 victory, Oto whiffed 5 and gave up no walks.

Oto has gone 4-3 this season with an ERA of 4.78 and 21 strikeouts in 52.2 innings pitched. Other clubs are hitting .254 against him.
