"Saa---!!!" With nine consecutive strikeouts against Nihon University's three batters, pitching a perfect half inning as a counterattack, Lin Guanglai on the pitcher's mound was also exceptionally excited, raising his arms and roaring loudly - such a stance was quite rare for him.
Being intentionally walked twice consecutively in the batting order, anyone would have a hard time feeling good; similarly, besides the simmering anger within Lin Guanglai himself, other players from Waseda Jitsugyo also felt extremely indignant:
This intentional walking of Lin Guanglai by Nihon University was, to some extent, a provocation against the late batting order hitters - in the eyes of these players on the field, Nihon University was banking on the fact that Waseda Jitsugyo's lower batting lineup had average strength, intending to maintain the current score gap through this kind of "menu" strategy.
