Bees Use Late Rally to Win
Vesutan pitcher Tsuneo Oda had a large part in his team beating the Nagasaki Stars, 4-3. The right-hander kept opposing batters in check throughout the game. Vesutan reliever Kiyoshi Inouye picked up the win. Tetsushi Kondo, who is tied for 3rd in the WL in saves with 13, took the loss for Nagasaki. Vesutan is 4th in the Western League with a record of 45-49.

The most important at-bat for Vesutan came in the top of the ninth inning, when first baseman Shougo Iwai stroked a 0-2 fastball to right for a run-scoring single, putting Vesutan up, 4-3.

"Helping the team win is what it's all about," said Iwai.
