[Beckx]

yeah, Operation: Just Barely Enough Pitching to Stay in Games isn't going to work for Meihou.

Tenri has like tripled its total offensive output for the tourney.

 

[YesNOnoNOYes]

omg HUGE HOME RUN for meiho at bottom of 9th

13-7

edit: 13-9

WOW

FIGHTING!

 

[Envelope]

just 6 more runs to go :^))))

 

[Envelope]

rip the dream

 

[YesNOnoNOYes]

all done

13-9

that was an intense last inning tho

 

[YesNOnoNOYes]

3-0 1st inning

 

[Lucumo]

Looking not too bad so far for Koryo. I hope they can keep the pace (two runs per inning :>).

 

[Monumma]

Kouryou - Sendai Ikuei 10-4

 

[Lucumo]

Things sure heated up a bit in the final inning.

 

[YesNOnoNOYes]

4-1 in 5th inning

edit: 6-1 nice hit

editedit: 7-1

ikuei is hitting them balls

 

[Monumma]

...7-1 now.

We're looking at
Tenri - Kouryou
Hanasaki Tokuharu - Toukaidai Sugao.

 

[Lucumo]

Still a whole four innings to bring it back.

Damn nice catch just now though.

 

[Beckx]

It's semifinal day! Only two days left now. I haven't been as active as I'd have liked, but I have at least watched a lot of games, so it's better than last summer.

Koryo v Tenri in the first game (starts 9pm US east coast)

I like both teams and honestly however this goes they are going to be underdogs going into the final. eigokokoyakyu highlights how Tenri's kantoku manages like he's in a pro game and the results really show.


Hanasaki Tokuharu v Tokaidai Sugao in the second

Hanasaki Tokuharu has scored 38 runs in 4 games. Tokaidai Sugao has scored 29 in 3 (bye). So expect a 1-0 walkoff win

 

[Envelope]

good start for your first inning

 

[Monumma]

https://twitter.com/EigoKokoyakyu/status/899815294822039552

Damn, I missed the record breaking swing.

Just walk the guy...

edit: and finally they walk him, to load the bases. 1 out, 6th inning, tie game.
6-4.

 

[Monumma]

The bases are loaded already in the 7th when Nakamura comes up... He clear the bases with a double. 9-4.
edit: And another RBI single in the 9th. just dont pitch to the man.

 

[Syf]

So much pressure on that last hitter. Nice game!

 

[Monumma]

The second semi is about to start: Hanasaki Tokuharu - Toukaidai Sugao.

 

[Lucumo]

TokaiDai Sugao should win this.

 

[Monumma]

This quickly became a tense game with both aces on. Neither side seems to know how to score anymore, 8th inning, 4-4.

edit: I somehow missed the fact that n11 is now pitching. bases loaded, 1 out, top of the 8th. K. 2run double, 6-4 Hanasaki Tokuharu.

 

[Lucumo]

Last chance for TokaiDai Sugao to get at least those two runs back.

/edit: 2nd and 1st bases loaded, one out.

 

[Syf]

Looking dangerous...

Tied!

 

[Lucumo]

And a hit into 6-6, nice.

 

[Monumma]

wowowow, 6-6.

 

[Lucumo]

Extra innings, here we go.

 

[Lucumo]

8-6 now, damn.

 

[Monumma]

top of the 11th, 2RBI double by Takai.

 

[Lucumo]

Wild pitch, 9-6.

And finally the third out. Time for TokaiDai Sugao to bring it back.

 

[Monumma]

Kouryou - Hanasaki Tokuharu tomorrow.
Hiroshima against Saitama.

 

[Syf]

Really good games today.

 

[Beckx]

Nakamura is such a monster

so my favorite pitcher (Kohei Arihara of the Fighters) is a Koryo OB. 100% behind them now! (Sadly their performance didn't rub off on him today, he had another bleh start....)

 

[h0mebas3]

Ace of the Diamond, and yes it's great!

Game two starting up now

Thank you!

 

[Beckx]

Just a reminder that, per usual, the championship game is at 2pm in Japan (1am US east coast)

it's been an amazing tournament. Not only the overall HR record broken, but the individual HR record as well.

 

[Syf]

Here we go

 

[Lucumo]

Go go Koryo.

 

[Monumma]

I just turned on the stream. Did they really pitch to Nakamura?

 

[YesNOnoNOYes]

koryo 1 - 2 hanasaki

i left work early to watch amg XD dont tell my boss :3

 

[Lucumo]

I just turned on the stream. Did they really pitch to Nakamura?

Yep, they did. But his team couldn't capitalize on it (3rd and 2nd bases loaded, one out in the first inning).

/o\

omg 1-4 hanasaki

 

[Lucumo]

Nakamura just needs to hit a 3-run HR to equalize.

 

[Monumma]

Nakamura just needs to hit a 3-run HR to equalize.

What about a strike out instead?

 

[Lucumo]

What about a strike out instead?

Bla. Still enough time. Also, apparently that was his first strike-out this Koshien?

(And damn, now 14 hits while in the 1st inning, he was pretty terrible.)

 

[YesNOnoNOYes]

wahhh nakamura whyyy

edit: a good hit!!!


2-4

 

[Lucumo]

wahhh nakamura whyyy

He just gave this one up since there were no runners anyway to condition them to continue pitching his way instead of avoiding him when it matters. All part of the plan. What a guy.

 

[Monumma]

It was the first time. He clearly is in a slump.

edit: the team is hitting behind him this time around though. 4-2.

 

[Kalor]

Kouryou not able to get anything done that inning.

 

[YesNOnoNOYes]

2-6

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

edit: 2-7

; __ ;?????

 

[Monumma]

2run triple by Nishikawa. 6-2. Nomura singles. 7-2. Pitching change.
edit: Takai doubles. 8-2.

 

[Lucumo]

Meh, not looking too good for Koryo. Still lots of opportunities though.
