Kites Thwart Bees, 8-6
Vesutan right fielder Tomeo Okinaka was sensational. He was 1-2 with a home run and a walk, while adding 3 RBI and scoring once. But it wasn't enough to rally his team to a win. Kinboshi beat the Bees, 8-6. The win belonged to Josuke Fujimori in relief. His record improves to 7-3. Genjo Fujii took the loss for Vesutan. At 46-44, Kinboshi is in 4th place in the Western League.

Had Yutaka Kobayashi not delivered a key base hit in the bottom of the seventh, the outcome might have been different. Instead, with two down and runners on 2nd and 3rd, Kobayashi hit a run-scoring single. That made the score 7-6, in favor of the Kites.

"It was a nice win for our side today," said Kites manager Kaita Kurosawa. "Not perfect, but we'll take it."
