Extra-Inning Win by Bees Over Stars
The Vesutan Bees picked up a win at Nagasaki Prefecture Stadium, taking down the Nagasaki Stars, 5-3, in 10 innings. On the mound for Vesutan was right-hander Masatoshi Sakai. He played a central role in the triumph. Vesutan is now 17-18.

Vesutan used a timely hit from Ikku Kawase to get the win. The center fielder stroked a 2-run double in the top of the tenth inning to put the Bees ahead, 5-3. It was his only hit in 4 at-bats, but it made an impact.

"Once I cross that chalk line, I'm all business," said Sakai.
