The Japan Amateur Baseball Association (JABA) met on Wednesday and decided to issue a four month game suspension to Oki Data Computer Kyoiku Gakuen baseball team for the death of a player.  The suspension is back-dated to August 31.

August 29, an eighteen-year-old Oki Data player drowned in a river and was declared dead at the hospital.  A twenty-one-year-old Oki Data player allegedly threatened to beat the younger player if he did not jump off a bridge into the river about five meters below.
