Stars Down Bees, 5-3
The Nagasaki Stars and Vesutan Bees completed their game despite the rain.

Nagasaki starter Johnny Travis pitched well against the Vesutan Bees at Vesutan Stadium. The right-hander led his team to a win, 5-3. The winning pitcher was Travis, now 3-3. He tossed 7 innings of 5-hit ball, while walking 5 and fanning 4.

Taysuke Fujimoto had a big run-scoring double for the Stars in the top of the sixth inning. With Nagasaki leading 2-1 and runners on 1st and 2nd, he got a fastball from 26-year old right-handed pitcher Taku Doi and swatted a double to center. It was his 4th double of the season, and more importantly, it put the Stars ahead, 3-1.

"I'm just trying to make sure I'm focused for each and every pitch," said Travis.

The 5th-place Bees have dropped 5 straight games.
