Iwai, Bees Too Much for Sailors
The Vesutan Bees thumped the Osaka Sailors, 9-2, at Fukuoka Stadium. Shougo Iwai was a big reason his team got the win. Iwai was 3 for 4 with a home run, 2 singles, and a walk. He scored 4 runs and drove in 3. Art Marx, credited with the win, is now 12-10. He allowed 2 runs on 6 hits in 9 innings. The Bees, at 58-64, sit in 5th place in the Western League.

With Vesutan leading 4-0 in the bottom of the fourth, Iwai batted against Osaka pitcher Natsuhiko Sugiura. Iwai hit a splitter to left for a 3-run home run. His 15th home run of the season put the Bees on top, 7-0.

"It's the best feeling when you come through for your teammates," said Iwai.
