Sailors Toast Bees, 11-1
The Osaka Sailors defeated the Vesutan Bees, 11-1, in part because of right fielder Kesanori Kikuchi. Kikuchi went 2 for 3 with 2 singles and 3 walks, while scoring 3 runs for the Sailors. Natsuhiko Sugiura, the winning pitcher, is now 7-4. He went 7 innings, allowing 1 run on 7 hits, while fanning 1 and walking 5. Osaka now has a record of 36-25 with the win.

In the bottom of the eighth, Hidaka Nishikawa stood in the box, looking for a pitch to hammer. The Bees were trailing 9-1, but had the bases loaded. That's when Tom Drill made a terrific pitch and Nishikawa grounded out. Gone was the dream of a Vesutan comeback.
