고시엔은 전국 고교 야구대회로 3400여개 학교가 참여하는 큰 대회입니다.
올해 우승학교는 교토국제고교로 사실상 한국학교나 다름없습니다.
제일동포가 대부분인 160여명의 작은 학교인데 고교야구 우승이라니 정말 기적같은 일입니다.
우승후 나오는 한국어 교가에 일본네티즌들이 반발도 심했고 일본 학교니 일본어 교가로 바꾸라는 항의도 빗발쳤지만, 학생들이 한국어 교가로 정체성을 이어가고있습니다.
교실에도 태극기가 걸리고 교장선생님도 한국인이라고하네요
우승 축하합니다.!
Kyoto International beat Tokyo's Kanto Daiichi 2-1 in 10 innings in the final of the national high school baseball championship Friday.
The Kyoto-based former ethnic school affiliated with South Korea that teaches students to be trilingual in English, Korean and Japanese captured its first title in the tournament held every summer at the historic Koshien Stadium.
It became the first team from Kyoto to win the tournament since Heian won in 1956. Two left-handed pitchers of Kyoto International, Rui Nakazaki and Ikki Nishimura, allowed a total of only six runs in six games from the first round.
"I was impressed by these boys," Kyoto International manager Noritsugu Komaki said of the winning team. "We had no choice but to face up to the situation (in the bottom of the 10th) and regroup. We escaped the jam with strong determination."
"I just wanted to play baseball with these boys as long as possible. To be honest, I couldn't imagine that we would make it all the way. Our offense is not so good, so we stayed patient and defended well."
The championship game was scoreless after nine innings. Under the tournament's tiebreaker rule, runners were automatically placed at first and second base to begin each extra inning.
Kyoto International brought home both of the automatic runners for a 2-0 lead in the top of the 10th on a bases-loaded walk and a sacrifice fly.
In the bottom half, Nishimura, who relieved Nakazaki, struck out Shintaro Sakamoto for the final out with the bases loaded after Kanto Daiichi got within a run.
