A nice crowd turned out for a clash between the Vesutan Bees and Osaka Sailors.

The Vesutan Bees beat the Osaka Sailors, 5-2. Vesutan pitcher and Sanda, Japan, native Masatoshi Sakai led the way. Sakai yielded 2 runs over 9 innings to notch the win. He scattered 5 hits, walked 1, and struck out 2. His record improves to 12-8.

The game was at a stalemate until center fielder Yuuichirou Isobe came to bat in the bottom of the eighth. Facing Osaka pitcher Haruki Ogawa, he hit a full count splitter for a 2-run single. It was a game-changer, putting Vesutan on top, 4-2.

"Winning is not something we take for granted," Isobe said.

Vesutan's record now stands at 50-55, placing them 4th in the Western League.
