The tournament to determine the number one high school baseball team has begun at Koshien Stadium. In this tournament, something is happening for the first time. At the opening ceremony on the 5th, two high school students from Ehime Prefecture introduced the participating schools using sign language for the first time. Sign language is a way of communicating by moving the hands, used by people who are deaf or hard of hearing. Additionally, for the first time in this tournament, women are serving as umpires. There are a total of five female umpires. In the game on the 5th, Maki Morita from Saitama Prefecture served as an umpire. She used her body expressively to make calls such as 'out' and 'safe'. Morita said, 'I was nervous, but with everyone's help, I was able to finish without any issues.'
