Bees Win Squeaker, 5-4, Over Kites
Well, that's how to end a game in style.

Vesutan left fielder Susumu Ishii made his presence felt in the 5-4 Bees triumph over the Kinboshi Kites. Ishii went 4 for 5 with 4 singles. Reliever Hirokatsu Funakoshi picked up the win. His record improves to 2-0. Josuke Fujimori, who is tied for 8th in the WL in holds with 1, took the loss.

Wei-Tzu Matsumoto was the walk-off hero for Vesutan. With the game tied in the bottom of the ninth inning, the Bees pinch hitter hit a dramatic run-scoring single to send the teams home.

"The crowd was raucous," said Ishii.

The defeat makes Kinboshi 30-25.
