Captain Kazuharu Yamada (4th year, Faculty of Medical Technology) said, "Thank you to everyone from Cheerleading Club, brass band club, Rugby Football Club, women's handball club, barbell club, and Teikyo Sports Supporters Association for coming all the way to the stadium. Your support was a great source of strength for us on the field and gave us the encouragement we needed even in difficult moments. We will continue to work hard every day so that we can remain a team that people can support. We ask for your continued support." He spoke with great enthusiasm, expressing his gratitude for the strong support and his determination for the future.
Buoyed by the loud cheers that echoed throughout the stadium, the baseball team defeated Josai University 2-1.
