The Vesutan Bees reigned over the Kobe Bulls in damp conditions.

The Vesutan Bees handed the Kobe Bulls a sound defeat, 11-2, at Fukuoka Stadium. Masao Shiotani, who finished 2nd in the WL in batting average with .352 in 1957, was a main contributor to the win. He went 2 for 3 with a home run and 2 walks, while scoring 3 runs for Vesutan. Vesutan pitcher Tetsuya Watanabe got the win. He's now 5-2. Hironobu Takaoka was tagged with the loss. Soseki Tanabe picked up the save for Vesutan, his 1st of the year.

Vesutan first baseman Shougo Iwai contributed a timely at-bat in the bottom of the second. With two down, he hit a fastball to right field for a 2-run single. It was his 79th hit of the season and put the Bees ahead, 3-0.

"We put the pedal to the metal," said Iwai.

Kobe's current losing streak is now 4 games.
