The quest for glory continues for the kids at Okisho. This weekend we faced two tech schools, Urasoe Kogyo and Okinawa Kogyo. Neither team put up much of a fight, and Okisho is now in the semi-finals. I was unable to attend the Saturday match, because of work, but did take in the quarter-final match against Okiko (as they're called for short). The game was over almost before it began, though, as Okisho posted 4 runs in the top of the first. From there, a solid pitching outing (complete game shutout) and a raucous crowd (see picture below) carried the team through 9 hot innings. More than one fan (myself included) got sun-burned, although many also brought "higasa" (sun umbrellas) and protected themselves from the sun. As for me, I'd rather be sunburned than be seen carrying an umbrella on a hot, clear day. Next up: Urasoe Commercial High School, this Saturday at 12:30 in Chatan! Stay tuned for updates!
