Bees Win, 10-4, at Fukuoka
Vesutan right fielder Tetsuya Watanabe contributed significantly to his team's 10-4 win over the Fukuoka Falcons. Watanabe, who finished 2nd in the WL in home runs with 24 last year, went 2 for 4 with 2 runs scored to lead the offensive attack for the Bees. Vesutan pitcher Art Marx got the win, upping his record to 10-9. Minoru Yamamoto got the loss. Vesutan is now 51-51, Fukuoka 53-55.

Tied up with the Falcons in the top of the sixth inning, the Bees got a boost from second baseman Hidero Fujioka. With the bases loaded, Fujioka saw a full count fastball from Minoru Yamamoto and hit a 2-run single to break the stalemate and put Vesutan on top, 3-1.

"We'll put this win in the can," said Fujioka, "and go after the next one."
