FUKUOKA – Today (7/3) as well, summer preliminary games are still going on Fukuoka. One of notable games that catch on fans radar is the match between Kokura South and one of Senbatsu (Spring Koshien) 2024 member, Tokaidai Fukuoka.
Although
their team got defeated by Uji Yamada Shogyo in the first round of Senbatsu, Tokaidai
Fukuoka has been showing a great growth in this summer. Facing against Kokura
South, they actually got shaked first in the early inning with some miss in the
game, allowing the opponent to dominate the game’s flow for a while.
But
following the next inning, they start to get used to the situation and stay
still from the middle of the game. While Tokaidai leading first with a gap of
one run, Kokura consistently follows up the run gap in every single chance they
got in each innings. But even so, Tokaidai managed to add one more run after
being hold on by their pace.
Kokura
South looks like having a big chance to leap over Tokaidai Fukuoka, but they
can’t bear the fact Tokaidai is dominating the game at the moment. In the top
of ninth inning, Tokaidai started an explosive offense against Kokura, widening
the score gap from 4-2 into 8-2. A sudden of four runs added in the last
inning.
