TOKYO (AP) -- A Japanese university baseball team has finally ended its 94-game losing streak, winning Saturday for the first time in five years.
The University of Tokyo beat Hosei University 6-4 at Tokyo's Jingu Stadium in its first victory since Oct. 2, 2010.
The school is Japan's premier university and produces many of the country's top politicians, lawyers and doctors.
But unlike rivals in the Tokyo Big 6 Baseball League, the University of Tokyo does not offer sports scholarships or scout high school players. Since World War II, the team has never finished in the top half of the six-team league.
