Vesutan Gets 5-2 Win
Masatoshi Sakai, who led the EL in wins with 15 in 1962, had a strong outing for the Vesutan Bees against the Osaka Sailors at Kotei Stadium. The right-hander was a big part of his team's 5-2 win. Sakai yielded 2 runs over 9 innings to notch the win. He scattered 5 hits, walked 1, and struck out 4. His record improves to 10-7. After today's action, Vesutan sits at 43-48, while Osaka falls to 27-65.

Early in the game, third baseman Taiji Miyakawa had a 2-run home run for Vesutan. It was his 15th home run of the season and put the Bees on top, 3-1.

"I guess I qualify as a crafty veteran," said Sakai.
