Iwai Helps Vesutan Cruise to 11-3 Win
The Vesutan Bees reigned over the Nagasaki Stars in damp conditions.

The Vesutan Bees soundly defeated the Nagasaki Stars, 11-3, at Fukuoka Stadium. Shougo Iwai, who finished 2nd in the WL in doubles with 36 in 1960, let his bat do the talking. He went 3-4 with a triple, 2 singles, and a walk. He scored 4 runs for Vesutan. Picking up the win was Kiichi Takahashi. He went 6.2 innings, allowing 2 runs on 6 hits. The left--hander struck out 3 and walked 4.

In the bottom of the third, Vesutan catcher Kiyohiro Aoyagi had a productive at-bat. With runners on 1st and 2nd and one out, Aoyagi stroked a run-scoring single to center. It made the score 3-2, Vesutan. For the game, he was 3 for 5 with 3 singles. He drove in 3 runs.

"It's good to win," Aoyagi told the Vesutan Observer. "I like to have fun doing it."

With the victory, the Bees upped their record to 37-33.
