Admin’s Note

I was truly surprised by Urawa Gakuin’s defeat. Given that they were expected to be one of the favorites to win, this outcome must have been shocking for their fans as well. You can really feel the players’ frustration. On the other hand, Mikawa Sogo’s victory was impressive, and I look forward to seeing how they perform in the future. High school baseball is so exciting precisely because anything can happen. I believe it’s important to have a dream and work hard, just like Chako.
