First win in three years, fifth overall win

Waseda’s baseball club came out in top at the 64^th Japan National Collegiate Baseball Championship following a 8-5 come-back victory against Ryutsu Keizai University. Thank you to everyone who showed their support.

Ryutsu Keizai University’s star pitcher Nabata, known for his 155 kilometer fastball, held control for the majority of the game, but Waseda fought back with a series of powerful hits in the seventh inning. Hits from Eigoro Mogi and Kazunari Ishi led to a five point streak while pitchers Kazuya Ojima, Kazuya Yoshino, and Kotaro Otake controlled the opposing team’s batters. Ishi hit a two-run home run in the final inning, cementing victory for Waseda.

Eigoro Mogi, who achieved a record high batting average of .615 with eight safe hits out of thirteen, was given awards for this record and for being lead hitter.
