Just a heads up on a couple kids who debuted/splashed pretty well as we start the back 9.
Amika Saeki (NoSmiler)
OH 177cm
DOB 2003-09-12
12/25/0 errors, 3 BlocksNanami Asano (Airybee)
MB 183cm
DOB 2002-12-13
13/27/1 error, 8 BlocksAsano actually signed with Denso at the end of last year. She played a bit in Summer League but this weekend was her first start in the Big Pants. SAGA's Asuka Hamamatsu has 8 blocks on the season. Asano with 8 blocks in 6 sets leaves Foluke eating dust
Saeki played the HS Championship last weekend and is still in school. She was a one man wrecking ball with her HS team and looks tough and comfortable in the Big Pants

Since I've been tracking it, 3-5 years or so, Toray Arrows has never employed a player who went to University

Imports don't count, especially ones from USA who have to go to college

Denso with positive tests, and their games with JT are postponed this weekend.

Next weekend’s doubleheaders at Toray’s home in Shiga will now be remote games.

Ugh
The least they could do is stagger the matches that are going to be played so we don't have to try and watch four matches at the same time

Toyota first win

Somebody's gotta give it up. NoSmilers are the nicest team in the league. It would be a nice gesture

Hitachi 25–23 Toray set 1
Hitachi keeps getting closer and closer to not losing matches ... to good teams. That's progress
----------
I growing very fond of Wakaba Sugihara in a Toyota uniform. Nao Muranaga rejoined the team to play libero. Ouch if you are one of their other so-called liberos
----------
Meanwhile PFU is getting their complete fail set out of the way in set 2

I don't know who this is performing at the SAGA/PFU half time but they act like they are famous

Damn Hitachi 2–0 Toray
And Toyota Toyota'd. Squandered a lead. If Okayama would just ease up a bit on the defense Toyota would have a better chance of scoring points
-
Hitachi almost crawled back from a big deficit, but 2–1
This new HS kid on the NoSmilers , Amika Saeki , has an awesome serve

Melissa attended Celeste Plak’s defense boot camp and got her money worth
