Seiritsu Baseball team wins the East Tokyo Championships!
On Sunday July 29th Seiritsu's baseball team beat Kokushikan High School in the finals of the East Tokyo High-school Championships!
This books them a place in this year's National Baseball Championships, held in Osaka in August!
The late edition of the daily Yomiyuri national newspaper.
The Championships, also called Koshien, puts together the winners of all the prefecture competitions and is aired on national TV. To enter the tournament is a massive achievement, as it not only makes the school famous throughout Japan but also the scouts from Japan's major league baseball teams are there looking to sign new talent.
This is the first time that Seiritsu has qualified for Koshien, so a huge congratulations for the team, and good luck at the nationals!
