Though the conditions were not ideal, the Vesutan Bees and Osaka Sailors came back from a rain delay to finish their game.

Ichiro Hirano powered the Vesutan Bees to a win over the Osaka Sailors. The final score was 7-3. The Vesutan catcher was phenomenal. He stroked 2 extra-base hits, including 1 home run and 1 double. Vesutan reliever Toshimichi Yamamoto was the winner. His record is now 4-5. The losing pitcher was Takahiko Kurata. Earning the save was Kiyoshi Inouye. He's now cashed in 17 of 24 save opportunities.

Vesutan won the game in part because of Kohei Bai. The second baseman ripped a 2-run home run in the top of the eighth inning to put the Bees ahead, 5-3. For the game, Bai had 1 double and 1 home run in 4 at-bats.

Hirano said his team "played with determination."

With the victory, the Bees upped their record to 57-57.
