Aoyama Gakuin University, aiming to become the fifth school in history to win four university titles, had Kaito Shimomura (4th year), the No. 1 pick in the Hanshin Draft, pitching well in the second round.
In the semi-finals, Hiroshima’s No. 1 draft pick, Hayato Tsunehiro (4th year), will take the starting mound.
He toyed with the opponent’s batting line-up, centering on the “fork” with a large drop of nearly 140 km, which made manager Arai say, “I can’t hit it.”
After the 6th inning, Tsunehiro pitched 142 pitches in the 9th inning, getting 6 strikeouts with his even sharper forkball, and taking on the final game of his student career with the goal of winning his 4th collegiate title.
Commenting on his passionate pitching of 142 pitches in the 9th inning, Tsunehiro said, “I knew he would let me pitch again, so I pitched to make sure I didn’t score.”
Furthermore, regarding the finals where the team will compete for the fourth university crown, he expressed his enthusiasm, saying, “Even if I pitch, I think it will be an important part in the final stages, so I hope I can drop the fork low and pitch in my own way.” Ta.
