The summer for Waseda Industries and Lin Guanglai has ended, but the Summer Koshien tournament continues.
After the match between Waseda Jitsugyo and Konan, the following game featured two teams: Tokai University Sagami High School and Hodokusho Academy. The favorites clashed with the home team, and after a fierce battle, Tokai University Sagami, led by ace pitcher Ichiyotai Shintaro, narrowly defeated Hodokusho Academy 6-5, advancing to the finals.
If you ask who is happiest right now, it would certainly be the media responsible for related news reporting: the young first-year prodigy Lin Guanglai narrowly losing, the host team Hodokusho Academy's five-point lead overturned, the two pre-tournament favorites meeting in the finals, the showdown between Ichiyotai Shintaro and Shimabukuro Hiroshi... any one of these would be enough to dominate the headlines.
