Bees Drop Rams, 5-4, with Late Score
The Vesutan Bees topped the Tokyo Rakisuta Rams by the score of 5-4, with the biggest share of the credit going to second baseman Tadasumi Tanaka. Tanaka was 5 for 5 with 3 doubles and 2 singles. He scored 2 runs and drove in 2 for the Bees on the day. The win belongs to Yoriyuki Nagashima in relief. His record improves to 2-0. Matsudaira Susumago took the loss for Tokyo Rakisuta. At 34-25, the Bees are currently second in the Japanese Baseball Association.

Yukitaka Kajiyama was the walk-off hero for Vesutan. With the game tied in the bottom of the ninth inning, the Bees center fielder hit a dramatic run-scoring single to send the teams home.

"This place was rockin'," said Tanaka.
