Okinaka Helps Bees Beat Kites, 9-8 | In a tight contest at Konohana Stadium, the Vesutan Bees edged the Kinboshi Kites by the score of 9-8. Vesutan center fielder Tomeo Okinaka, who blasted 1 home run, was a key contributor. The Bees now have a record of 32-31.
Okinaka had an important at-bat with the bases loaded in the top of the seventh, when he hit a grand slam home run. The Bees went on to win.
