There was the final match to entry the national senior high school baseball tournament between Shinminato high school and the high school attached to the Kokusai University.
It was so exciting and moving game.

It made the team encouraged and the pitcher Hakamatani took it deep inside and he made the first step for a come-from-behind victory.

In summer final match 1980 he played the role of a pitcher. In the team mate Hakamatani played the role of cleanup hitter. They finally could entry the national high school baseball game.
Hakamatani was dead 4 years ago when his son was in junior high school. He really wanted to take his son to the national high school baseball called 'Koshien'.
Mori talked about the game
' The pitcher Hakamatani was very painful body from the hard pitching getting treatment of drip injection but fortunatelly rain made 2days delay. I wonder it might be his deed from the heaven.'
