《Highlights of the match》
[Chuo Gakuin]
Chuo Gakuin won their first Koshien victory throughout the spring and summer in the first round and rode the momentum to advance to the top four.
The batting lineup has the highest team batting average and average points per game among the four teams that advanced to the semi-finals, and is characterized by an aggressive attack.
Shogo Aoki, the No. 1 player with a batting average of 60% and 7 RBIs, has 5 of his 6 hits being extra-base hits, showing great adaptability to the new standard metal bat with reduced rebound, and improving his batting lineup. It's being towed.
On the pitching staff, Shinta Sosa, who plays shortstop, took the mound as a reliever after the middle of the three games in all three games and maintained the lead with his powerful fastballs.
If they advance to the finals, they will be the first Chiba Prefecture team to do so in five years, since Narashino High School in 2019.
[Hotoku Gakuen]
Hotoku Gakuen made it to the top four for the second year in a row, following last year's runner-up finish after making it through a tough block featuring strong schools that have won at Koshien.
The pitching staff is rock-solid, with the captain and stable pitcher Ayumu Maki, who both experienced last year, and pitcher Hiroki Asamaru, who has a powerful fastball.
Pitcher Maki gave up one run in eight innings in the second round, which was the team's 100th game at Koshien in the spring and summer, and pitcher Asamaru perfectly shut down Osaka Toin High School's core in the quarterfinals, pitching a complete game with one run allowed. .
The defense, led by sophomore Niyuma, second-year player Junpei Yamaoka, and shortstop Yuki Hashimoto, has created a rhythm with solid defense, making just one error in three games.
