April 2, 2012, Hanshin Koshien Stadium.
Day 13 of the tournament, the first match, Osaka Tsubaki versus Waseda Industries.
After finishing the pre-match interview and expressing his confidence in advancing to the Koshien finals for the third consecutive time, Lin Guanglai followed at the back of the squad, walking through the player tunnel into the Koshien Stadium.
Spring weather is always unpredictable, just like yesterday, when it rained all day long, leaving the entire Koshien infield wet and soggy.
"Ah—really nostalgic for last year's Senbatsu weather! Rain is so annoying..." Feeling the unique touch from the spikes on his shoes, Lin Guanglai couldn't help but complain to Uesugi Yasuyuki beside him.
