The skies opened up and the rain fell at Matsunoki Stadium.

The Vesutan Bees dealt the Kobe Bulls a 5-4 loss at Matsunoki Stadium. Toshimasa Ikeda was the star on offense. He went 1 for 1 with a home run, while adding 3 RBI and scoring once. Shohei Yamazaki picked up the win in relief. His record improves to 1-0. Hironobu Takaoka suffered the loss.

Ikeda had a game-changing home run in the top of the eighth. On a 0-2 changeup from Hironobu Takaoka, he banged a 3-run home run to right-center, giving the Bees a 5-4 lead. It was the 2nd home run of the year for Ikeda.

"We'll kick back tonight, then get set for the next one," Ikeda said.

Vesutan has now won 4 games in a row.
