Nagasaki Beaten, 10-6, by Vesutan
Despite a fine performance by left fielder Yoshitomo Nakano, the Nagasaki Stars lost to the Vesutan Bees, 10-6. Nakano was 2-3 with a home run and a walk. He drove in 3 runs and scored once. The Bees, at 48-42, sit in third place in the Western League.

Who knows how it would've ended, had it not been for Hidero Fujioka? The two-time All-Star Fujioka stroked a 2-run single in the top of the eighth inning to put Vesutan up, 8-6. For the game, he was 3 for 5, including 1 double and 2 singles.

"Good win for us," said Fujioka. "We'll strap it on and go after the next one."
