Yamada Finds Groove in 2-1 Triumph
Pitching was the name of the game in a tight contest between the Vesutan Bees and the Yokohama Kingfishers. Vesutan won it, 2-1. Vesutan starter Nariakira Yamada was in command. The slumping Kingfishers have dropped 6 in a row.

Yamada was effective for Vesutan, seldom allowing the Kingfishers to square up a pitch. The right-hander tossed 128 pitches over 9 innings. He limited Yokohama to just 1 run on 5 hits.

"Been a rough stretch for us," said Yokohama manager .
