Iwai Powers Bees to 12-5 Win
The Vesutan Bees beat the Fukuoka Falcons, 12-5, at Vesutan Stadium. The Bees got a fine performance from first baseman Shougo Iwai, who was 3-5 with a home run and a triple, while scoring 3 runs and driving in 4. Masatoshi Sakai was the winner. Over 6.2 innings, he yielded 3 runs on 8 hits, with 1 walk and 5 strikeouts. Fukuoka now owns a losing streak of 8 games.

Tokugawa Ito had a big 2-run triple for the Bees in the bottom of the first inning. With Vesutan trailing 3-2 and runners on 1st and 2nd, he got a fastball from Rei Matsumura, who leads the WL in strikeouts with 80, and swatted a triple to right-center. It was his 2nd triple of the season, and more importantly, it put the Bees ahead, 4-3.

"We certainly don't want to get used to losing," said losing manager Kamlyn Kadota.
