Special thanks to Coach Bill Kralovec (new OIS head of school) for coaching the Sabers MS baseball B team on Saturday, September 13, 2014, at Canadian Academy in Kobe - and for submitting the following report about the Sabers "Killer Bs".

The MS boys B team  traveled to Rokko Island on a perfect, late summer morning to take on the Falcons of the Canadian Academy. The Falcons jumped out to an early 4-0 lead in the first inning, before the Sabers battled back to lead 12-5 going into the last inning. The Falcons came back, scoring 7 runs to tie the game, which ended 12-12. 

The Sabers were led by the bats of Masashi Miyawaki who homered and Myoung Jun  Kim who tripled. The Sabers B team continues to work on consistent accurate pitching. Shortstop Leon scored three times in the game. The team demonstrated good sportsmanship and they look forward to this coming Saturday's games on the new field at Marist Brothers International School in Suma, Kobe. 

The Sabers host the 2014 AISA tennis tournament October 16-19. This is a great opportunity for all Sabers fans and tennis fans - and Sabers tennis fans - to watch the SOIS netters in action. In particular, Sabers senior Kana Yokoyama will be going for an unprecedented 4th girls singles title in a row. 

Some tournament information can be found here with updates to come.
