Miyakawa Swings Bees to 5-3 Win
The Vesutan Bees defeated the Osaka Sailors by the score of 5-3, with the biggest share of the credit going to third baseman Taiji Miyakawa. Miyakawa was 3 for 5 with 2 home runs, while adding 3 RBI and scoring twice for the Bees on the day. Shuhei Ichikawa got the win, improving to 3-2. He worked 8.2 innings, giving up 3 runs on 4 hits, while striking out 6 and walking 1. Kiyoshi Inouye earned the save, his 9th.

With Vesutan leading 2-0 in the top of the fifth, Miyakawa hit a slider from Takahiko Kurata for a 2-run home run. It was his 11th home run of the season and put the Bees ahead, 4-0.

"Enjoyed this one," Miyakawa told the Vesutan Citizen. "But it's back to work tomorrow."

The Bees, at 25-32, sit in 5th place in the Western League.
