Bees Slip Past Stars, 7-5
Nagasaki second baseman Shozo Sakata had a terrific game, but it still wasn't enough to get his team a win. Sakata was 4 for 5 with 4 singles and a walk, while adding 2 RBI and scoring once, even as Vesutan beat the Stars, 7-5, in 12 innings. Vesutan reliever Tadaatsu Sunada snagged the win, upping his record to 1-1. Norikazu Hamasaki shouldered the loss. The 5th-place Bees now have a win-loss record of 15-18.

Vesutan needed the clutch hitting of Akinari Nakamura to seal the deal. The catcher swatted a 2-run home run in the top of the 12th inning to put the Bees on top, 7-5. For the game, Nakamura had 1 home run and 2 singles in 6 at-bats.

In comments to the Vesutan Citizen, Nakamura insisted that he's not as disinterested as it often appears. "Haters will hate," he added.
