Toyo University and Kokushikan University in the Tohto University Second Division League match held at Todoroki Stadium (Kawasaki City).
Kokushikan against the starting pitcher Haruki Hosono (3rd year), middle reliever Shota Hebei (4th year), Rikishin Ichijo (2nd year), and Toyo University pitcher with a good and strong arm of around 150km. The left batter who hit the first big was struggling with batting that did not retreat even one step.

Outfielder in high school
“I’m a freshman from Osaka Toin. Today is my debut in the league.”
A person concerned who was present at the press seat taught me.
The name of the left batter of the first grader is Yamashita Kyukyu.
At the first at bat, I was confused by the fastball around 150km of Hosono, the top candidate for the draft next year, and the two types of sliders with different bends, and I struck out. When I defeated, I was surprised at the next third at bat.
In a scene where he wanted a long hit with two outs, he hit a timely triple from Hosono to the back of the left and turned the game over.
After muttering, “It’s amazing, Osaka Toin …”, I thought it was Ale.
This is because I didn’t remember the player “Yamashita” in Osaka Toin last year. It is said that the outfield of Osaka Toin was centered on Ryoma Ikeda, who had advanced to Orix, and Shoichiro Noma (currently Kinki Univ.) Asahi Hanada is guarding, and this Hanada is advancing to Toyo University, the partner of the day.
Yamashita is not a regular because these three were outfielders on the iron wall. When I looked it up, Senbatsu was on the bench with a uniform number of 15, and Koshien in the summer was on the bench as a reserve outfielder with a uniform number of 17.
While doing that, the match remained tied and entered a 10-time tiebreaker.
Yamashita’s fifth at-bat, greeted by one death, second and third base. Baseball is interesting for such batters because the turn at bat comes around with a good hitting surface.
Ichijo’s first ball was a slider that came out high, so I think he was aiming for a straight one. That’s right, Yamashita carried a fastball of 147 km to the rear right middle with a swing of just meet.
Although it did not reach the victory, it was definitely a sacrifice fly that would lead to the “baseball life” in the future.
