For those looking for Summer Koshien final results - 96th Summer Koshien: Tournament Schedule – Osaka Toin 2014 Champions
I happened to be in the Osaka area over the weekend and got a chance to drop by Koshien Stadium on Sunday. I didn't purchase tickets so I couldn't watch any of the games, but I did check out one of the stadium stores and picked up a few Summer Koshien related merchandise.
As a way to say thanks for all the support you've provided over the years, I'd like to give these items away to three lucky Yakyubaka readers.

Additionally, I noticed with some of the stats, like stolen bases, were not updating properly. These should be fine now. If you notice errors, please let me know.
