Hokkai Senior High School won a victory over Komazawa Tomakomai in the final game of the South Hokkaido High School Baseball Championships.

  This afternoon, I watched two baseball games on TV. One was the final game of south Hokkaido Senior High School Championships Tournament, and the other was All-star game of Japanese professional baseball. In High School baseball, the game was played between Komazawa Tomakomai and Hokkai High School from Sapporo, and Hokkai won the champion in the extra inning game by 5-4. Hokkai was qualified as the representative of  south Hokkaido and will advance to all Japan championships tournament to be held at Koshien Ball Park in August with Shirakaba High from Obihiro, the representative of north Hokkaido.
 Inaba of the Hokkaido Nippon Ham Fighters was elected as the MVP player in the final game of the All-star game of  Japanese professional baseball leagues. He hit three base hits including a two-run homer, a timely single, and a tripple, and contributed the 5-0 victory of the Pacific league all-stars. After the game, Inaba announced to donate all of the 3,000,000-yen prize money to the victimes of the East Japan Great Earthquake and tsunami. By the way, the game was held in Sendai. A very fine play by Inaba!
