79th Spring Koshien Game 1
The opening game of the Koushien Tournament had Sano Nihon Koukou and Oomuta Koukou feeling each other out for the first couple of innings. Sano Nihon would get on the board first in the 4th inning. Cleanup hitter Kawano-kun would get on base with a double down the right field line. Then on a 0-1 pitch, Itabashi-kun would hit a grounder to the pitcher. But as Abe-kun looked to throw to 3rd, no one was covering. He then rushed his throw to 1st, sailing it over 1B Kakizoe-kun's head. They would add another run in the 6th before opening the flood gates in the 9th when Oomuta's defense failed them. Yasue-kun would lead off with a pop-up that was dropped by 3B Narita-kun. After a sacrifice bunt, Nishiuchi would pop-up to 1B Kakizoe, only to see him drop it. Another error later by SS Kiyofuji-kun would lead to a 5 run inning. Sano Nihon ace Idei-kun would breeze through the game facing 3 above the minimum, giving up 4 hits and 1 walk while striking out 12.
Of note is Sano Nihon's leadoff batter, Viana Weilsson. Born and raised in Brazil, he learned the game from the Japanese living in Brazil and moved to Japan to play the game. [1]
