Koshien High School Baseball: The Championship game, AGAIN!!

Did you see that stading ovation at the end of the game yesterday!! Everyone in the stadium was clapping!!! Above are the 2 Aces! Two unbelievable pitchers that remind you of when Matsuzaka pitched at Koshien. They have both pitched 2 games in a row and will probbaly pitch again today. Their pitch count is unbelievable, like over 400 in the oast 3 days. And yesterday after 15 innings of 0-0 ball, the game was stopped and the two teams will play a rematch in about 30 minutes! It`s a shame that one of the teams has to lose...Koshien High School baseball is by far the best sporting event in Japan. It might even be the best sporting event in the world! Every year, two times a year, there is a big baseball tournament involving high school teams. The kids are so pure, running out all the hits, trying their best, sweating, cheering, laughing, crying...It`s amazing! And then there are the fans!!! Many students come from each school from all over Japan to support their teams. Their chants, school songs and dances and bands and emotions are really great!
