Bees Losers, 3-2, Versus Osaka
Osaka left-hander Takahiko Kurata pitched his team to victory over the Vesutan Bees at Kotei Stadium. The final score was 3-2. The Sailors go to 13-13, putting them 4th in the Western League.

Kikuichi Shirai drove in one run for Osaka. The former first round draft pick had a key at-bat in the bottom of the seventh. With one out and the bases loaded, he broke a 2-2 tie with a run-scoring sacrifice fly off Tatsuki Goto. It was his 24th RBI of the season.

"No time for flexing," said Shirai. "It's always one game at a time."
