On the 16th in the 100th National High School Baseball Tournament Memorial Kumamoto Tournament on June 16, Ryuji Sonoda (11) in Kumamoto Municipal Trust and Bear Elementary School 6 (11) = Kumamoto City Higashi-ku = my heart for the father who passed away last spring, the prefectural Yatsushiro Baseball ground He stood at the mound of the beginning ball type.
Mr. Katsuhiro's father is found abnormal in the company's dock, and the symptoms worsen, such as gradually forgetting the family name. By the time I was hospitalized two years ago, I could no longer talk and I took my breath last May.
Mr. Katsuhiki was in the baseball club at the time of junior high school students, belonging to the team of grass baseball since becoming an adult. My legs are slow but my shoulders are strong, I love watching giants' baseball live broadcast. Ryuji is interested in baseball when seeing Katsuhiko-san and his brother playing a catch ball and joins the baseball club in the fourth grade of elementary school. He says he is now serving as a pitcher.
My sister, Sakuya (17) who was watching such a form, said that he is talking about high school baseball with his friend at the end of last year and wants to show his father that he is doing his best "(Ryuji Kun is doing his best)", It is said to come up with. I thought shyness Ryuji would refuse me, but when I tell her, I got a reply saying "I want to do" in a few days. Ryuji says "I wanted to show you a nice place because my dad passed away" why he decided.
Mr. Sakura somehow wants his brother to participate in the ceremony ceremony, studying the draft text of the application, receiving advice from a high school language teacher, and having my friend's mother correct her. Posted a photo of Ryuji to your postcard and asked him to write his thought as "voice from my sister" and his voice from "brother". I also practiced catch balls in the park near my house.
On the day of the start ball ceremony, Ryuji climbed the mound and took a hat and thanked him carefully. The ball which was thrown largely and threw it fell neatly in the mitt of Masatoshi Hashiguchi's catcher of the Shidekan. "I entered (aiming) more than at the time of practice"
Mr. Ryuji, who got off from the mound, greeted me with a relieved smile that Mr. Sakura "was thoroughly thrown". "I saw a cousin in heaven's father" (Ayumu Sugiyama, Aya Kibi)
