Okinaka Lifts Bees to 14-12 Win
In a game featuring no shortage of runs, the Vesutan Bees defeated the Nagasaki Stars, 14-12. One of the hitting stars was Vesutan center fielder Tomeo Okinaka. Okinaka, who is tied for 7th in the WL in extra base hits with 24, went 3-5 with a home run, a triple, and a double, while scoring 3 times and driving in 6. The win was credited to Teiljo Okamoto in relief. His record improves to 2-1. Otoya Maehara took the loss. Haruki Ogawa earned the save for Vesutan, his 7th of the year.

Okinaka contributed a big hit, a grand slam home run, for Vesutan in the bottom of the fifth. With his team trailing 12-9, Okinaka took a fastball from Otoya Maehara and stroked the home run to center. His 9th home run of the season allowed the Bees to leap in front, 13-12.

"Ugly win or not, we'll take it," said Okinaka.

The 4th-place Bees now sit at 26-23.
