《Highlights》
Yamanashi Gakuin (Yamanashi)
So far, ace pitcher Kengo Hayashi has started all five games and led the team by winning complete games in three of them.
However, the number of pitches in the semi-final on the 1st, when they threw a complete game against the hard-hitting Koryo (Hiroshima), reached 31, and there were concerns about fatigue in the final, and the support of the pitchers' relay and the attacking team seems to be the key to winning the championship for the first time.
