Bees Handle Stars, Grab 15-7 Win
Vesutan took on Nagasaki in front of a lively crowd.

The Vesutan Bees defeated the Nagasaki Stars, 15-7. Doing his part was second baseman Hidero Fujioka, who was 2-5 with a home run and a triple, while scoring 2 times and driving in 5. Kiichi Takahashi snagged the win in relief. He goes to 4-0 on the season. Otoya Maehara suffered the loss.

The game turned with two out in the top of the fourth. That's when Fujioka hit a bases-clearing triple off Otoya Maehara. It propelled the Bees into the lead, 5-2.

"Nice win for us," said Fujioka. "Now we'll go after the next one."

The second-place Stars now sit at 36-31.
