Sakura Sluggers Win League Championship

The Japan-America Society's very own softball team, the Sakura Sluggers, won their first-ever league championship on August 19, by doing the impossible -- beating the heretofore undefeated AED-2 team by a score of 8-3.

AED-2 has dominated the International Education League, winning the championship five of the past six years. So that makes the Sluggers' victory all the more impressive.

Congratulations to the Sakura Sluggers and their great coach, Marc Hitzig.
