Stars Sneak By Bees, 5-4
The Nagasaki Stars overcame a pretty good performance by Vesutan right fielder Tomeo Okinaka, beating the Bees, 5-4, at Fukuoka Stadium. Okinaka was 4 for 4 with a double, 3 singles, and a walk. Nagasaki improves to 40-28 with the win. They lead their division by 3 games.

The result might have been different, had it not been for six-time All-Star Teruhi Hirai. Hirai had a run-scoring double in the top of the eighth inning to put the Stars ahead, 5-4. For the game, Hirai had 1 double and 1 single in 5 at-bats.

"We had the game right there for the taking," said Vesutan manager Jim Harper. "But we decided not to take it."
