Bees Bridle Kites, 2-1
In a low-scoring affair between the Vesutan Bees and the Kinboshi Kites, pitcher Soseki Tanabe was the difference between victory and defeat. The Vesutan left-hander earned accolades for his stellar performance in the 2-1 Bees win. The winning pitcher was Tanabe, now 5-2. He tossed 5 innings of 4-hit ball, while walking 2 and fanning 3. With the victory, the Bees record stands at 55-60.

Vesutan used the hitting of Masao Shiotani to pick up the win. The shortstop clubbed a 2-run home run in the top of the first inning to put the Bees on top, 2-0. For the game, Shiotani had 1 home run and 1 single in 3 at-bats.

"There was no wiggle room in this one," said Tanabe.
