The exploits of right fielder Hidetsugu Ikegami, who finished 5th in the WL in batting average with .282 in 1968, helped the Vesutan Bees defeat the Osaka Sailors, 6-2. Ikegami went 3-5 with a home run and 2 singles. He drove in 3 runs and scored once. Bill Knox picked up the win, improving his season record to 4-4. He struck out 5 in 7 innings. The slumping Sailors have dropped 6 in a row.

Center Fielder Kazuo Kawano made an impact for Vesutan, when he swatted a solo home run off Tetsushou Kobayashi in the bottom of the third. For the contest, Kawano went 1 for 3 with a home run and was hit 2 times, while scoring 2 times.

"You work hard, day in and day out, hoping to give the fans something to cheer about. Today was a good day," Ikegami told the Vesutan Gazette.
