Vesutan Dismisses Tokyo Denki, 8-5
The Vesutan Bees topped the Tokyo Denki Dynamics, 8-5, with catcher Shuusaku Tanaka playing a big role. Tanaka went 2-4 with 2 singles and a walk, while adding 3 RBI and scoring once for the Bees in the win. The winner was Yoshitora Nakagawa, who threw 133 pitches over 9 innings. The left-hander was charged with 5 runs on 10 hits. Vesutan goes to 4-7.

Yoshitora Nakagawa dealt the Dynamics a blow in the top of the sixth. Batting with the bases loaded and Vesutan leading 4-3, Nakagawa, who finished 2nd in the JBA in wins with 15 last year, hit a 2-0 changeup for a 2-run single.

"Feels good to get the job done," Tanaka said after the game.
