The Vesutan Bees got a rain-soaked win over the Osaka Sailors.

Vesutan second baseman Kichiro Okano was a significant contributor in his team's 6-4 triumph over the Osaka Sailors. He was 2-3 with a home run and a walk. He scored 2 times and drove in 2 for the Bees. Vesutan reliever Kiyoshi Inouye picked up the win, raising his record to 4-3. Marty Carroll was tagged with the loss.

Vesutan took a 6-4 lead on Okano's 4th home run of the season. The 2-run home run, which he hit off Kuniaki Usui in the bottom of the eighth, propelled Vesutan to the win.

"Things will change for us," said Osaka manager Bill Sherrill. "When things change, we'll get clicking."

The 5th-place Bees lifted their record to 20-25.
