My life is baseball part 3

I talk about last year's New York Baseball state championship.
One week later, we had a state championship. The first team which was Honeoye played against Keio. This game was so easy to win because we got 9 runs soon. So we relaxed and we won this game. The score was 9-1. We thought the next game would be a problem because we laced Fort Plain High School which was the school that beat us. We hoped to beat Fort Plain because we can get revenge, but they lost against Thomas Edison! We could not get revenge on them. However, our goal was getting the state championship. We forgot about Fort Plain. We prepared for the next game.
About 3 hours later, the state finals started. We went to bat first. At first, each team did not get a score. Our pitcher and Thomas Edison’s pitcher were very good, so it was not easy to get a score. But in the 3th inning, we attacked. The coach cheered up before our batting. He said ‘We have to win this game. We practiced every day for this time!’ and our motivation rose. First, Yuki Toriyama hit a base hit and the next batter who is Kenta Miyoshi hit a base hit too. Next, Shun Oritachi tried to lay down a sacrifice bunt then the opponent did not field the bunt and we had the bases loaded. Next was me. I thought I have to hit now. I concentrated. I hit the first pitch then the ball hit the left-field wall. We got 3 runs at a burst. Then score was 3-0. When our batting was over, score was 6-0. We kept defending. And in last inning, we got 2 outs soon. We were convinced we could win, and then own pitcher got a strike out! We became state champions! We screamed and jumped! The coaches did too. Becoming a state champion was the first time for Keio since the time Keio Academy was built. This is my best memory. I will not forget this in my life.
When the seniors left this school [This means graduated baseball team too.], they called my name as a captain. I felt I had to lead teammates but I was very happy. Becoming a captain was a big responsibility to keep the team as one. I have to think about everything for the team. For example, I have to think about the schedule of the team, the work-out schedule of every player, and tell the coaches how players are doing and how players’ bodies are doing. It is a big responsibility but it is worth doing it. I am looking forward to continue this job as a captain of the Keio baseball team.

My life is baseball part 2

Today, I talk about my baseball life again. My career of baseball was going well in Japan, I had to come to Keio Academy of New York. I came here as a 10th grade and I could not join the starting team, but when I was in 10th grade, the coach sometimes called my name as a the starting member. That year, we became state finalist but we did not win. The score was 10-9. We lost. We wanted to win really badly. When the game was over, every player cried and two coaches cried too. The coach said “we have to win next year and we have to return here again. This is revenge” I promised that we would come back here again.


Then next year, we had a difficult road to win the sectional champion. There was an extra inning game against Vallhara High School but we won. In 8th inning, Kazumasa Matsuda hit over the right fielder. That was a 2 base hit and next batter was Takaho Chubachi. We expected him to hit. He hit a base hit and Kazumasa got to home plate. Then the score was 4-3 and we saved the next inning so we became sectional champions.

I will write about last year's state championship in next blog and I like writing about baseball because I can recall about baseball which I played.

My life is baseball

Today, I talk about my baseball. In all my life all I did was being a good baseball player. I started my baseball career when I was in second grade. There were about other 20 teams. Sometimes, we had a championship in our region. My team always won the championship so I can say my team was probably the strongest in the region where I was living in. I started as a second baseman and changed to short stop. I kept my batting spot as a leadoff hitter and my average was .765. This average won the award of MVP. It gave me a lot of pressure to keep this average, however, it also was my own goal which helped me to be a better player. The team which I was playing called “Nakacho Friends” We went to state championship and always won.

When I was in 8th grade, I had a rival. I competed with the boy who was a better player than me for the second baseman position. I did not believe I could get the second baseman position. I worked hard because I ran everyday about 3 miles and swung the bat about 100 times. 1 month later, the coach called my name as a starting member. I was very happy when my name was called. . From then, I got my position as a regular player.

Today, I wrote only these sentences. I will write about high school baseball on next blog.

Fishing Trip!!!

First, I am sorry about late for new blog. Internet in my dorm was so slow and we couldnot go the "blogger.com" This is true.

Then, I talk about fishing trip on last Sunday. We gathered at school at 6.45 am. Some people were late. We did not get angry because we thought too it was too early and we took off the school about at 7. 10 am. We rode a school bus and it took about 30 minutes and we arrived some port. I do not know the port's name.


We got a ship to the sea. We could see Manhattan and some city on the ship. First, we could not fish but American could fish. We jealoused about that. About 2 hours past, under class man fished blue fish. Since then, we started fishing and I fished blue fish but it was small. Other person could fish a blue fish bigger than mine. I feel jealous again.


And we heard the bell which signed end fishing. Eventually, Keio students could get 26 fishes. 25 blue fishes and 1 bream. I could fish only one blue fish and also it was small. American fished very big blue fish. I was surprised.


We went back to our dorm and we prepared for cooking the fishes which is we fished. First, under class men flavored with some spices and over class men fired some charcoal. We prepared for eating the fishes. We ate a lot and we finished eating. It took only 90 minutes. There were some vegetables and rice balls. Their taste were very good.

Next fishing trip is March so please come fishing trip Mr.Kringle!!
