Amid the applause of tens of thousands of spectators at the scene, the alarm signifying the end of the game was sounded inside Koshien Stadium.
"Buzz—buzz—buzz—"
The air raid siren blared, announcing the end of today's first game, and the score on the scoreboard above the outfield was frozen.
Waseda Jitsugyo, 2 points.
Luzheng Society, 0 points.
The game has ended, but for the sports reporters responsible for recording and broadcasting the event on-site, their competition has just begun.
Led by the staff, Lin Guanglai stood on the post-match interview stage—without a doubt, having seized 22 strikeouts and broken a 48-year-old record, Lin Guanglai was selected as the best player of this match.
As soon as he got on the stage, the flashlights from below started flashing madly, the dazzling white light almost blinding Lin Guanglai, forcing him to raise his hand to shield himself.
