Led by Masao Shiotani, the Vesutan Bees defeated the Kobe Bulls, 13-3. Shiotani was 3-4 with a home run, a double, and a walk. He scored 3 times and drove in 3 for the Bees. Tadaatsu Sunada, who finished 5th in the EL in strikeouts with 148 in 1957, was the winning pitcher. Over 7 innings, he allowed 1 run on 10 hits, with 1 walk and 4 strikeouts. The 5th-place Bees now have a win-loss record of 42-43.

Tomeo Okinaka had a big 2-run home run for the Bees in the bottom of the third inning. With Vesutan trailing 1-0 and a runner on 2nd, he sized up a fastball from Bill O'Grady, who is tied for 3rd in the WL with a 5.8 K/9 rate, and punished it. The result was his 12th home run of the season, which put the Bees on top, 2-1.

"We didn't pitch good, and when you don't pitch good, you lose," said Kobe manager Joe Davis.
