"Crack——!!!"
A clear, lingering echo resounded over Koshien for the third time tonight!
The white baseball traced a faster, higher perfect arc across the night sky of Koshien, then once again disappeared into the sparse seats in the right field stands, making a muffled sound.
A solo shot, the third home run of the game!!!
Even the most optimistic and peaceful Hanshin fans remaining in the stadium could no longer bear watching their beloved team being pummeled so relentlessly—they stood up silently, with their heads bowed, and walked towards the exit along the somewhat steep steps. Their backs were hunched, as if they had aged significantly in an instant.
"It's...it's gone out again! Right field! The third time! He's done it! The third home run! What kind of performance is this?! What kind of player is he?! I...my God!" The commentator's voice quivered violently with excessive excitement, and even carried a tinge of choking emotion.
