Vesutan Wins, 8-7, Over Bulls
The Vesutan Bees defeated the Kobe Bulls, 8-7. Doing his part was shortstop Masao Shiotani, who was 3-5 with a home run and 2 singles. He scored 2 times and drove in 2. Yukihiro Okamura snagged the win in relief. The left-hander allowed no runs on no hits over 2 innings. He's now 1-0 on the season. Vesutan bumps their record to 15-12 with the win.

The defining moment came in the bottom of the ninth for Vesutan. That's when Kazukuni Morinaga hit a solo home run off 27-year old third baseman Masali Tabata to win the game. The home crowd went wild.

"Walking a team off at the end -- there's no greater feeling," said Morinaga.
