Vesutan Downs Kinboshi, 9-5
The rain did not keep Vesutan and Kinboshi from finishing their game.

A 5-RBI performance from catcher Hidaka Nishikawa led the Vesutan Bees to a win over the Kinboshi Kites, 9-5. The win puts Vesutan at 29-44.

With Vesutan leading 3-1 in the top of the fourth, Nishikawa hit a fastball from Hironobu Takaoka for a grand slam home run. It was his 2nd home run of the season and put the Bees ahead, 7-1.

"If we play like this, we can win a lot of games," Nishikawa told the Vesutan Today.
