Vesutan and Nagasaki took Mother Nature's best shot and still managed to complete their ballgame.

Vesutan Bees starter Bill O'Grady turned in an exceptional performance against the Nagasaki Stars at Nagasaki Prefecture Stadium, resulting in a Vesutan win, 5-1. The win puts Vesutan at 8-22.

Vesutan third baseman Shuuhei Yamashita contributed a timely at-bat in the top of the first. With two down, he hit a cutter to right field for a 2-run single. It was his 24th hit of the season and put the Bees ahead, 2-0.

Vesutan manager Jim Harper called it "a good, solid win."
