Vesutan Earns 4-3 Win
Both teams had their opportunities, but in the end, the Vesutan Bees got the win.

The Vesutan Bees racked up a win at Konohana Stadium, bumping off the Kinboshi Kites, 4-3, in 12 innings. Chiko Abe, who started for Vesutan, pitched effectively for his team. The second-place Bees now have a win-loss record of 43-37.

Vesutan used the timely hitting of Ichiro Hirano to seize the win. The catcher stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the 12th inning to put the Bees on top, 4-3. It was his only hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.

"Chiko gets tougher when he has to, makes a big pitch when he has to," said Vesutan skipper Jack Fletchings.
