Seiritsu at Koshien!

In August, Seiritsu's Baseball team entered the National Summer High School Baseball Championships, held in Osaka, for the first time!

The Competition features all the high school teams that won their prefecture championships. Seiritsu won the East Tokyo tournament, so they represented the area.

Before leaving for Osaka, the school held a large ceremony for the athletes congratulating them on winning the area competition.

The national tournament, familiarly known as Koshien because of the stadium where it is held, began August 8th. Seiritsu's debut match against Tokai-dai kofu, Yamanashi champions and koshien semi finalists in 2004, was on August 12. Most of the school - teachers, students, parents and graduates alike - travelled down en masse to cheer them on!

Sadly, Tokai-dai was too strong for Seiritsu's first experience at the national championships, winning the round 3-0. The Yamanashi team actually went on to repeat their semi-final best performance, so everyone agrees that it was a great experience for Seritsu.

Koshien was eventually won by Osaka Toin, defeating Aomori's Kosei Gakuin in a 3-0 final on August 23.


We're looking forward to seeing our team compete against the very best again next year!
