Tokyo 6 University Baseball will be played against Hayakei starting on the 7th. It will be the third time in 91 years since the spring and fall of 29 (Showa 4) that they have collided undefeated (excluding the case where they played the first card). In the first round, another “long time” will take place. This is the third time in 18 years. He’s a starting pitcher among first-draft-nominated pitchers in the fall game against Hayakei. Director Waseda Komiyama has announced Hayakawa’s starting lineup (Rakuten No. 1), and Keidai director Horii has announced Kizawa’s starting lineup (Yakult No. 1).

The last one was 2002. In the first round, Takeshi Wada (Daie) started at Waseda University and Shuichiro Nagata (Seibu) started at Keidai. To be exact, it was a “free acquisition framework.” The first case dates back to 1967. In the first round, Waseda was started by Miwada Victory (Kintetsu 1st) and Keidai was started by Fujiwara Makoto (Nankai 1st). It should be noted that all of them turned into pitcher battles. In 1967, Miwada won the seal and Fujiwara lost two goals, which was taken by Waseda. In 2002, Wada won 2 goals and Nagata lost 4 goals (3 points of own responsibility). This was also taken up by Waseda, but both Fujiwara and Nagata, who lost, fulfilled their initial responsibilities.

The number “for the first time in 91 years” shows the long history of the University of Tokyo 6 baseball. It is through history that the ancestors are sometimes discovered. Will it be a suitable pitching battle for that weight this time, too?
