In the fourth game on the second day of the summer national high school baseball tournament, Shiga's Omi High School, who won the second place in the spring Senbatsu, won 8-2 against Naruto High School in Tokushima and advanced to the second round.
In the 5th inning, when Omi was chasing 1 point, No. 5 Satoru Yokota struck a 2-point timely three base to break the right middle and reversed the game.
After that, No. 6 ISHIURA Ishiura scored two consecutive hits, and scored 8 points by the 7th inning.
Captain and ace pitcher Yoto Yamada lost one point each due to teammates' errors in the first and second innings. Interwoven, he threw 8 innings without giving Naruto a score, and showed a strong pitch that took 13 strikeouts each time.
Omi beat Naruto 8-2 to advance to the second round.
On the other hand, Naruto's left-handed pitcher Ryoya Tomita, who pitched well against Osaka Toin High School, who won the Senbatsu, was caught after the 5th inning when the number of pitches exceeded 100 due to the tenacity of the Omi batting line, and conceded points. We did not advance to the second round following three years ago when we participated last time.
