"Towards right field! The baseball is flying fast—what about this ball?!"
"Ah ah ah ah ah—!!!"
"It's out, it's out!!! This ball flew right out of the stadium!!!"
"Lin Guanglai! His first at-bat of the whole game! A solo home run in the semifinals for the first point lead!"
As Lin Guanglai rounded the bases at a steady pace, touching home plate to confirm his return, the scoreboard at Koshien's outfield showed a change from the initial 0:0—on the right side of Waseda Real, in the top half of the inning, the digital screen displayed "1."
The players in the Waseda Real dugout extended their hands one by one, high-fiving Lin Guanglai in celebration—this home run was of enormous significance to Waseda Real, equivalent to starting with a 1:0 advantage; with this one-point lead, the players could relax more and dare to take actions both offensively and defensively, instantly easing the tremendous pressure of the semifinals.
