With Late Score, Bees Beat Kites
No one was more impactful than Tomeo Okinaka in the 6-5 Vesutan win over Kinboshi. Okinaka, who finished 5th in the WL in triples with 8 in 1959, went 3 for 5 with 3 singles. The 4th-place Bees now sit at 40-38.

The game was still up for grabs in the bottom of the ninth. With two out, Okinaka hit a fastball from Toshinori Nagase for a run-scoring single. The Bees, in dramatic fashion, had a walk-off win.

"Now that's what I call an exciting game," said Bees manager Jim Harper.
