Japan has made six home runs in three games so far.
This is the most among the 6 participating teams.
Of these, Yamato Fujita has hit three home runs.
The pitchers also continue to pitch stably with 3 runs in 20 innings.
The strong batting line will capture the Canadian pitchers early and advance to the advantage, and I would like to decide to advance to the final before the match against rival America on the 26th.
