Hajime Sakurauchi attended Waseda University where he played on the
varsity baseball team. Waseda’s biggest baseball rival was Keio
University and as the war progressed, one last game between the two
teams was arranged. Held on October 16, 1943, at the Totsuka Stadium of
Waseda University, this was a send-off game held immediately before the
mobilization of many students into military service. Waseda won the
game, 10 to 1.
Sakurauchi died in military service.
