Aki Taikai Recap-to-date - Tokyo

Tokyo gets their own region and has 24 blocks which contain 2 brackets, all of which has finished. The teams to advance are as follows:

Block 1
  • Obirin (Oberlin) - Back to the super-regionals, but a 12-9 win against Waseda in the block final not very strong
  • Toukaidai Takanawadai
Block 2
  • Ooshima - Good for the small island school. They defeated Teikyoudai and Nichidai Sakuragaoka(!) to advance.
  • Horikoshi - No problems at all for them as they score 10 runs in all 3 games to try and get an invite to Haru Koushien.
Block 3
  • Hachiouji 
  • Nishhougakushadai Fuzoku - A strong win over Kokugakin Kugayama is promising.
Block 4
  • Tokyo Sougou Kouka
  • Ouji Sougou
Block 5
  • Kokushikan - Perhaps they're back after 2 strong games early.
  • Edogawa
Block 6
  • Setagaya Gakuen
  • Teikyou - Strong early, but a 4-1 win over Nichidai-ichi doesn't look promising.
Block 7
  • Nichidai Tsurugaoka - Slow start versus Jyoutou, but picked up steam as they progressed.
  • Machida - No problems at all for them as they score 10 runs in all 3 games to try and get an invite to Haru Koushien.
Block 8
  • Kanto Dai-ichi - Two mercy rule wins perhaps put them in good position.
  • Shouwa
Block 9
  • Nichidai Buzan
  • Higashi-Yamato Minami
Block 10
  • Kousei Gakuen - Needed 10 innings for a 1-0 win over Tokyo Jitsugyou in the final, but it's not a bad thing.
  • Chitosegaoka
Block 11
  • Iwakura
  • Shiba
Block 12
  • Rikkyo Ikebukuro
  • Sundai Gakuen
Block 13
  • Shuutoku - Two mercy rule wins, including a 7-0 win over Kokugakuin is a plus.
  • Komagome
Block 14
  • Komadai
  • Jyouhoku
Block 15
  • Nittai Ebara - Will they finally find a way to break through?
  • St. Paulo Gakuen - Always in the mix, but the test lies ahead.
Block 16
  • Kodaira Minami
  • Adachi Nitta
Block 17
  • Taisei
  • Waseda Jitsugyou - Totally annihilated their opposition.
Block 18
  • Shibaura Koudai
  • Dai-yon Shougyou
Block 19
  • Musashi Murayama
  • Toukaidai Sugao
Block 20
  • Ooizumi
  • Musashigaoka
Block 21
  • Adachi Nishi
  • Seikei
Block 22
  • Nichidai-san - Nothing to see here, just the usual blowouts.
  • Hiro-o
Block 23
  • Nichidai-ni - Always in it, but never in real contention.
  • Tanashi
Block 24
  • Oyamadai
  • Houyuu Gakuin
