On the seventh day of the Senbatsu High School Baseball Tournament, two games in the second round and one game in the third round will be played, and 7 participating schools will be selected.
Game 1
The first match will be between Clark Memorial International High School in Hokkaido and Okinawa Shogaku High School.
At Clark Memorial International, captain and ace pitcher Ayuki Shinoka pitched in eight official games last fall, boasting an outstanding stability with a 1.8 ERA.
Okinawa Shogaku is the only school participating in the official game last fall with a strong batting average that exceeds 0%, but the only score in the first round is a home run by No. 67 Yujin Nakata, and the key is whether the batting line will connect.
Game 2
The second match will be between Toho High School in Aichi and Takamatsu Commercial in Kagawa.
Toho had 2 hits in the first round, while his small skills such as steadily scoring bunts and scoring runs also shined, and his unbroken batting line is powerful.
Takamatsu Commercial, who will appear last among the 1 participating schools, has a stable 12.36 ERA after ace pitcher Ryomitsu Omuro pitched in eight official games last fall.
Game 3
From the third game, they will enter the third round, where Tochigi Sakushin Gakuin and Kagawa Hideaki High School will face each other.
In the first round, Sakushin Gakuin scored 3 runs on 3 hits, and if they can show their strengths, they will be able to carry the game with an advantage.
In the first round, Hideaki limited Chiben Wakayama High School's powerful batting line to two runs in a three-man relay, including pitcher Kentaro Shimomura. The performance of the pitching staff seems to be the key.
