Bees Score Late to Win, 3-1
Vesutan and Nagasaki duked it out and the Bees came out victorious.

Vesutan right-hander Masatoshi Sakai pitched his team to victory over the Nagasaki Stars at Nagasaki Prefecture Stadium. The final score was 3-1. The 4th-place Bees are 62-61.

Vesutan used the timely hitting of Kichiro Okano to seize the win. The second baseman stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the eighth inning to put the Bees on top, 2-1. It was his only hit in 3 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.

"I always go out there hoping to contribute," said Okano.
