The Vesutan Bees topped the Nagasaki Stars, 3-1, in Western League action at Nagasaki Prefecture Stadium. The game was highlighted by the performance of Vesutan pitcher Art Marx. Their 57-60 record puts the Bees 4th in the Western League.

Susumu Ishii, who led the WL in hits with 204 in 1957, had a direct impact on the outcome. Ishii contributed a run-scoring single in the top of the fifth inning to put Vesutan up, 2-0.

"Art's as tough as he is talented," said Vesutan manager Jim Harper.
