Bees Beat Osaka, 4-3
Vesutan Stadium played host to some exciting baseball.

The Vesutan Bees beat the Osaka Sailors, 4-3, at Vesutan Stadium. Hidetsugu Ikegami, in particular, was impressive. He went 3-5 with a home run and a double, while scoring 2 times. At 65-66, the Bees are currently third in the Western League.

The game was still up for grabs in the bottom of the ninth. With one out, Ikegami hit a fastball from Yukinobu Nobuhara for a solo home run. The Bees, in dramatic fashion, had a walk-off win.

"This place was jumping at the end," Ikegami said.
