The Vesutan Bees took on the Osaka Sailors at Kotei Stadium.

Vesutan Bees starter Niou Nagao turned in an exceptional performance against the Osaka Sailors at Kotei Stadium, resulting in a Vesutan win, 5-2. Vesutan is 59-61 and Osaka, with the loss, 33-87.

Taiji Miyakawa was 1-3 with a home run and 2 walks, while adding 2 RBI and scoring once for Vesutan. With one out and the game tied in the top of the seventh inning, Miyakawa, who is tied for 6th in the WL in home runs with 22, had a clutch at-bat. Facing Osaka hurler Kinnosuke Shimabukuro, he grounded out, driving in 1 run to give the Bees a 3-2 lead.

"I'm just trying to make sure I'm focused for each and every pitch," said Nagao.
