Bees Pull Out Late-Game Win, 2-1
The Vesutan Bees and Kobe Bulls played a tight game with the hosts claiming a hard-fought win.

The Vesutan Bees eked out a 2-1 win versus the Kobe Bulls at Vesutan Stadium. Nobody did more than pitcher Masatoshi Sakai. He was terrific. The win for the Bees lifted their record to 29-28.

The game was at a stalemate until right fielder Hidetsugu Ikegami came to bat in the bottom of the eighth. Facing Kobe pitcher Tatsuharu Oto, he hit a first pitch slider for a run-scoring single. It was a game-changer, putting Vesutan on top, 2-1.

"Scoring was at a premium tonight," Ikegami said.
