Baseball day
Yesterday, there were 2 big baseball games. One of them was baseball game in Beijing Olympic. Japan vs Canada. Another one was final game of Koshien.
First I'll write about olympic game. Japan won 2 games but they lost 2 games too. So, they have to win all of rest 3 games to go to get medal. Then yesterday's game vs Canada. Inaba crack a homer that was the biggest point and it became a match point. Pitchers kept this point and they won the game!
Second, I'll write about Koshien. Koshien is a major sports event in Japan. It is baseball game that high school students play. Officially, Koshien is annual summer high school baseball tournament. But most of people call it "Koshien". Because they play it in "Koshien kyuujou (Koshien stadium)". "Koshien kyuujou" is located in Hyogo prefecture and it is famous for its ivy curtain around the stadium. Most of high school students who are member of baseball club wanna go there and play there. So, they practice over and over in their school. After they won the preliminary of their region, they can go to Koshien. People in their region cheer their region's winner in front of TV like me. (Some go to Koshien)
This year's finalists were Osaka Toin and Tokoha Kikugawa. Osaka Toin is winner of North Osaka region and Tokoha Kikugawa is winner of Shizuoka region. I'm living in Tokyo and I cheered to 2 teams. Kanto Daiichi and Nihondaigaku Tsurugaoka. Kanto Daiichi is winner of East Tokyo region and Nihondaigaku Tsurugaoka is winner of West Tokyo region. But they couldn't be finalist. They lost their game before final game.
Anyway, the result of this year's Koshien final game was 14-0. Osaka Toin's batting order got big point but Tokoha Kkugawa couldn't stop their influence. I could enjoy it but if Tokoha Kikugawa could get point, the game would be more interesting game... But I could enjoy both game! And I hope today's game Japan vs China will be really good game!
Thank you for your reading!
Good day & Peace and Smile!
