My friends and I went to Shinanomachi to see a baseball game between the two universities Waseda and Keio. It is a very famous game that is held twice every year. There has always been rivalry between Waseda and Keio so this is a game that every student at either of these universities wants to see. We had luck with the weather, it was shiny and rather hot. The two teams met yesterday as well and then Waseda unfortunately lost. Today's game started poorly, Keio got 2 points in the first inning. We had to wait until the fourth inning before Waseda got a point. The game continued and the score did not change until the eight inning when a Waseda player hit a homerun! Now it was 2-2 and only one inning left! It was so exciting and we all cheered as much as we possibly could! No one scored a point in the last inning so the game went on for one more inning but the score did not change. It was first in the twelfth inning Waseda was able to score 2 points so the game ended 4-2 to Waseda!! The game went on for nearlｙ three and a half hours. It was such a great game and we had a great time!!
