Vesutan Edges Fukuoka, 4-3
Starting pitcher Bill O'Grady pitched well enough to help the Vesutan Bees beat the Fukuoka Falcons, 4-3. The save went to Sadatake Suzuki, number 1 for him. The victory makes Vesutan 10-23.

Kiyohiro Aoyagi, who is a three-time All-Star, had a direct impact on the outcome. Aoyagi contributed a 2-run single in the top of the first inning to put Vesutan up, 3-0.

Fukuoka manager Horace Jackson said he was "mildly disappointed" with the loss. "We had our opportunities, but we didn't take advantage of them," he said.
