In the third game of the Senbatsu High School Baseball tournament on the fifth day, Hyogo’s Hotoku Gakuen won a 3-2 walk-off against Aichi’s Aichi Daimyoden High School after a 10-inning tiebreak, advancing to the second round.
The third game was a meeting between teams that had experience winning Senbatsu championships.
Hotoku Gakuen, which will be participating for the 23rd time, started with one of the pitchers who contributed to last year’s runner-up victory, uniform number 10 Yuki Asamaru, with a fastball in the low 140 km/h range and a sharp slider. He pitched 7 innings and held the score to 1 point.
From the 8th inning, pitcher Ayumu Magi, the ace number 1 and captain, pitched until the 10th inning of an overtime tie-break, limiting the game to just 1 run in the 10th inning, and with the team chasing 1 run, they reached the bottom of the 10th inning. .
That attack forced Hotoku Gakuen to tie the score, and then number 4 Yusei Saito hit a timely hit to the center field, winning a 3-2 walk-off and advancing to the second round.
Aiko Daimyo Den’s starting pitcher, Naoki Ito, uniform number 10, used a powerful ball as his weapon and threw the ball all by himself until the end, but his 129th pitch hit too hard and he ran out of steam.
