springbreak

Almost senior went to Florida trip when it was after the Shofusai but person who belong to baseball club did not go to Florida trip becasue we had 4 games in a week. I mean in a spring break. We had 4 players who belong to baseball club. Me, Takaho Chubachi, Kaoru Tachibana and Yoshitaka Imaeada. We promised we have to win all games because if we lose geme, we do not have meaning to quit to go to Florida trip. First day of spring break, it is little rain. We hoped we can play game but field condition was very bad so game was cancelled and next day, it was raining also and second game was canceled too. Third day of spring break, it was raining also and third game was cancelled again then we thought we should go to Florida now. Like a joke but 4th day of spring break, it was cloudy but we could play game. The game was against Rye Country Day. They were very strong and tough because last year, they won 20 games and they lost only 3 games. I thoght we might be lost but my feeling did not need because in the first inning, we got 7 runs suddenly and we got score more and more. The final score was 14-3. We won perfectly.

We changed our mind. We could not play 4 games in a week. We could play only 1 game but we practiced every day. It means our baseball ability did not decrease. We can play baseball as same as before spring break but I was little bit shocked because we could play only 1 game and also we lost first time in last Saturday against North Salem. We had double header that day. The first game was 12-1. We won but the second game was3-4. We lost. It was first time lose in this year's baseball season. Now, we won 7 games and we lost 1 game.

Today, we are going to have a home game against Blindbrook but Manhattanville is going to use the field so our game move to away game. I think it is unfair because yesterday, we had a home game but they had a game so we canselled that game therefore they have to practice another time. We are little bit angry.

We have a 12 more games before sectional is start. I want to win all games and I want to get first place in a league. If we can get first place in league. We can play all sectional game at HOME. It is advantage for us because we can get the field soon and we have so many galaly. They cheer up us. I can get power from their cheering. I do not know sectional's schedule yet. I want to tell the schedule to Mr.Kringle soon if I know the schedule so please come to watch sectional. It is a tournament so if we lose, our baseball season is over.

Baseball

I talk about my favorite sports which is baseball again. We are seventeen players in our team and six managers. 10th grade players are 9 players, 11th grade players are 4 players and 12th grade players are 4 players. And also 10th grade managers are 2 managers, 11th grade managers are also 2 managers and at last, 12th grade managers are 2 managers. They are very good managers because they always prepare water and some eqipment and if our uniforms get darty, they wash them by their hand so when we wear the uniform, the uniforms are always clean. Very white. I thank them and also I think other players thank them. We need them. Oh, I forgot this. If our game is away game, managers make rice balls for us. It is very important for players because when the game is end, we are very hungry so we have to eat something soon so it is going to help us.

Actually, we had 3 games until now but recently, the weather is not good, it is always rain so we did not have two games. Against Blindbrook and Tackahoe. It is made us sad because we want to play game always but today is good weather. It is not going to rain today!!so we can play game and also home game!! against Dobbs Ferry high school. In fact, we lost against them last year. That score was 2-11. It was worst game in the last year's game. We made so many errors and we could not hit so we lost but this year's team can get score everywhere. Therefore, 8th or 9th batter can hit basehit and leadoff batter is me so I can get RBI and we have good defense. Today's our goal is no error and we have to get a chance and get the chance. I mean we do not have to waste of chance. Baseball is that we do not have so many chances so we have to get tha chance. It is a key of winning the game.

I think today's order is 1st batter SS Tatsuto Kitajima, 2nd P Kenta Miyoshi, 3rd 3B Gota Kato, 4th C Takaho Chubachi, 5th LF Shun Oritachi, 6th 2B Shunsuke Yokoyama, 7th CF Ryuta Yashiro, 8th 1B Yoshitaka Imaeda and 9th RF Kaoru Tachibana. I think these are today's starting member. I expect 9th batter Kaoru Tachibana. He is in this class. Recently, he practiced seriously and very hard so I hope he can hit basehit.

Today's game is going to stare 4.30 pm and it is little bit cold out there so you have to wear many clothes. It is going to be very fun. Dobbs Ferry is very strong and tough team. You have to watch this game so please come to watch our game, Mr.Kringle!!

And I afraid of my grade. Today I am going to get my grade. I think it is going to be fine. I hope. If it is not going to be fine, I cannot play baseball today.

Today is a official game

Today, I talk about beseball again and again. Our basball season will start today. Actually, we had 3 scrimidges last week. Last Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Last Thursday was against Briahcliff. They are class B. Last Friday was against Westlake. They are class C. Last Saturday was against White Plains. They are class AA. We lost against Briahcliff 11-3. It was rain so we could not play well but we won against Westlake and White Plains. Against Westlake was 3-1. Against White Plains was 9-5. They were very good team. Especially, White Plains was last year's sectional finalist so they are strong and tough. White Plains' pitcher had very fast and good breaking ball but we hit a lot from him. We could get score for hitting. It was not for White Plains' error. For these games, we can believe ourselves that we are strong. We can get statechampionship this year too.

Actually, my batting score was 3 for 9 and 1 bb so it was 0.333. I have to hit more because I am a lead off batter.

From today, we have an official game against Solomon Schecter. We know they are weak because in last year, we beated them 18-0 at sectional quarter final but in league, we lost 5-7 and Coach Rocky got angry at us and we ran so many times. We did not concentrate in game so we lost. We have to concentrate in winning game today.

Our first home game is this Friday against Blindblook. We lost them 2-3. They were little bit storng and good but we did not have to lose them. It was shocked so we have to revenge.

Today, Kenta Miyoshi who is in 11 th grade pitch. He got All-State last year. He is a very good pitcher so we can win today because he pitch today. Ofcourse other pitchers are very good but he is best pitcher in this team. I think next good pitcher is Kaoru Tachibana who is in 12 th grade. I expext him.

I think actually this year's team is stronger than last year's team. This is not arrogant. Because of I say that, we can hit basehit everywhere. I mean 8th or 9th batter can hit basehit and they get RBI and we can also do a bant. It is very good point for strong team and also we have very good pitchers. Kaoru does not good yet but he is going to change. He is going to be a good pitcher. I believe so.

Our season start today and we run for getting state championship. We talked about it yesterday and we promised that. We believe that we can do it and we have to do it. We have some pressure but it is not releationship with us. We only play good play and we win. It is our goal. We are excited and interesting in play baseball.

Mr. Kringle!! Please come to watch our basebal game this Friday!! But Friday is not good weather maybe so if it is very good shiny day, you have to come to watch baseball game!!
