Some butterflies from Tsuda Gakuen to start out.

edit: the heck is Kubota throwing? is he a screwballer?
edit2: i think the weird vertical action is created by the arm slot and he just has a shooto and a curveball.

If you want to use your pitcher as an outfielder have the guy practice it, lol. Poor Mizutani.

Wakabayashi is pitching, but even he concedes 2 runs. 6-6.

2 scoreless innings somehow. Extra innings here we come*.

*provided Wakabayashi doesnt hit 4 consecutive batters.

Edit: WOW, captain Nakata run FAR back to track the winning hit. Extra innings.

Mizutani is the winning run on second base with 1 out in the 11th.
Kubota pitched 160.

K for the second out, IBB Kikuchi, Miyagi at bat.

Great opening day after the delay, I'm sad I missed those other games.

The next three days have an uncommon 4 games each day to make up for the rain delay. On tap for today - 4 tier 1 schools (last year's champ Sakushin Gakuin, Morioka DaiFulwate, Yamanishi Gakuin, and Meitoku Gijuku). Big day, as the first game up pits the two best teams in bracket A against each other.

8:00 1 作新学院 Sakushin Gakuin - 盛岡大付 Morioka DaiFuIwate

10:30 2 松商学園 Matsusho Gakuen - 土浦日大 Tsuchiura NichiDai

13:00 3 前橋育英 Maebashi Ikuei - 山梨学院 Yamanashi Gakuin

15:30 4 日大山形 NichiDai Yamagata - 明徳義塾 Meitoku Gijuku
