On the 10th day of the summer national high school baseball tournament, the 3rd round to advance to the best 8 will start, and 4 games will be held.

1st match Akihide Hitachi (Ibaraki) vs Sendai Ikuei (Miyagi)

The first match is between Meishu Hitachi High School in Ibaraki and Sendai Ikuei High School in Miyagi.


Meishu-Hitachi, who has a batting average of more than 40% for the team in local tournaments, scored only two goals in the previous game.


On the other hand, Sendai Ikuei kept all five strong pitchers on the mound in the first game and kept a clean sheet.


Against Sendai Ikuei's pitchers, who say that "everyone is an ace," Meishu-Hitachi's batting lineup will likely determine the outcome of the game.

2nd Match Takamatsusho (Kagawa) vs. Kyushu International University (Fukuoka)

The second match is between Takamatsu Commercial from Kagawa and Kyushu International University High School from Fukuoka.


Takamatsu Commercial is centered around Shogo Asano, a notable slugger who hit two home runs in the previous game.


In the previous game, the batting line was connected and scored 14 points.


On the other hand, Kyushu International University's pitching staff, such as left-handed pitcher Kazuki Kozai, who pitched well in the previous game, allowing one goal in the ninth inning, will be key.

3rd Match Meiho (Oita) vs. Aiko Daimeiden (Aichi)

The third match is between Oita's Meiho High School and Aichi's Aikodai Meiden High School.


In the previous game, Meiho had 9 hits and scored 7 points, while Aiko Daimeiden had 13 hits and scored 6 points.


Attention will be paid to how the pitchers of both teams, who have won the pitcher's relay, will hold back each other's strong batting lineups.

Fourth match Omi (Shiga) vs Kaisei (Nagasaki)

The fourth match is between Shiga's Omi High School and Nagasaki's Kaisei High School, who finished second in the Spring Senbatsu.


Omi's ace pitcher Yoto Yamada threw 149 pitches in the previous game and won a complete game, and the batting lineup has shown strength in the two games in a row since the first game.


On the other hand, Kaisei has a strong batting lineup with 24 hits in two games.


They have a solid defence, making only one error throughout the regional tournaments, and will aim for the top 8 with a well-matched approach to offense and defense.
