"Lin Guanglai! My God! A grand slam in the bottom of the seventh innings!"

"Indeed, this is a monster! You absolutely cannot give such a player even the slightest chance, or you'll definitely be severely punished by him!"

"For the players of Chiben Gakuen Junior & Senior High School, this is so unfair, so cruel—after all, they just made a very tiny mistake! Even professional players can't guarantee a mistake-free game, so what did these high schoolers do wrong?"

"In fact, they didn't do anything wrong!"

"Chiben Gakuen's performance in this game was quite outstanding, even pushing the defending Senbatsu champions to the brink—yet, such are monster-level players; they have the ability to turn the tide and can stand up for their team in a crisis, turning disaster into triumph and bringing stability to an impending collapse!"

Feeling the roaring waves at Koshien Stadium, surrounded by this frenzied atmosphere, even the commentators had to shout to ensure they could hear their own voice:

"High school baseball fans in front of your TV, are you watching the game right now? How are you feeling at this moment?"

"The entire Koshien Stadium has plunged into a celebration! The crowds here are overwhelmingly passionate—standing here, I feel the whole ground shaking!"

"Are we really witnessing such a game? Is such a player really not a character out of a comic book? Even if Mizushima Shinji and Adachi Mitsuru depicted this in a manga, many would think it's unrealistic, a fantasy!"

"But reality is often like this! Those things we deemed impossible with common sense are happening right before my eyes at this very moment!"

"Single tournament four consecutive games with home runs, the first in history! Single tournament total of 15 RBIs, tying the record set in the 2008 90th Memorial Tournament by Osaka Tsubaki's Hagiwara Keigo—and what's scarier is that Lin Guanglai accomplished these feats in just four games!"

After saying this, the commentator went silent: having spoken to this point, the atmosphere was well rendered, leaving some space for the audience to reflect is the mark of a professional commentator.

Actually, he only said half of the above sentence; out of respect for Chiben Gakuen players, the latter half was left unsaid—as the live commentator, he truly wanted to say that with Lin Guanglai and Waseda's current performance, whether it's a single tournament RBI record or consecutive home run record, it's unlikely these will last long.

Those names currently on the record are likely to be erased by the hands of history and replaced entirely by this young whirlwind running around the field.

Human joys and sorrows are not the same; the cheers from the audience at this moment are so piercing in the ears of Chiben players and supporters.

Just a dozen minutes ago, before this innings began, Chiben Gakuen players were brimming with confidence, aiming to topple the favorites and show them the consequences of underestimating opponents—but now, none of them can smile.

"Hooray!!!!!!!!!"

In front of the TV, when Kondo Kensuke saw the high-flying baseball being homered by Lin Guanglai to the scoreboard, he jumped up from his seat, clearly delighted for his friend.

On the other side of the room, Yanagida Yuuya's face slowly turned into astonishment—he attempted to put himself in the shoes of Chiben Gakuen's Ono Yohei, having pitched well nearly the entire game, only to be hit with a grand slam at the last minute; just imagining this leaves him feeling somewhat sympathetic towards Chiben Gakuen...

As Lin Guanglai returned to home base, stepping onto home plate, officially changing the score to 6:1, from the far outfield stands, the audience suddenly erupted with a shout—which, compared to the previous home run cheer, was even more intense.

Attracted by the shout, people's eyes and TV cameras focused on the outfield scoreboard: until then, the audience was astonished to find out that the home run just hit to the scoreboard smashed the electronic screen—what a monster force!!!

The hot atmosphere that had slightly calmed down suddenly heated up several degrees after this scene—this game seems to have turned into an exclusive reality show for Lin Guanglai.

As the instigator, when Lin Guanglai realized he had broken the scoreboard, he suddenly felt a bit at a loss—he scratched his head, unsure what to do:

"Uh... I might have gone a bit overboard this time... Will Takano Ren ask me to compensate for the damages or something..."

A series of extraordinary occurrences greatly diverted the audience's attention, as they refocused on the game, surprised to find the score continuing to rise.

Seeing this, supporters of Chiben Gakuen, seated at the edge of the field, sighed helplessly: the players' mindset was visibly shattered, the spirit they'd held back was dispersed—the last out, seemingly so close, now felt like a hyperbola in mathematics, infinitely close yet never intersecting.

When Chiben Gakuen players slightly improved from their painful and dejected emotions, the score on the field had already turned into a gruesome 9:1.

Single inning 8 runs, yes, single inning 8 runs—last game, when Chiben Gakuen reversed Yokohama High School at the top of the ninth inning, they relied on their exceptional performance of scoring 8 runs in a single inning; however, fortunes turned, and in this game, they became the victims, experiencing the same taste as the opponents they had defeated.

Top of the eighth inning, a thoroughly broken-spirited Chiben Gakuen couldn't organize any proper offense, Uchida Saint easily secured three outs, maintaining this inning.

Bottom of the eighth inning, Waseda's offense continued, further widening the score—after the inning ended, Waseda added 3 more runs, with the total score reaching 12:1.

In the last inning, Izumi Minoru chose to substitute today's performing Uchida Saint, and when he stepped down from the mound, the audience expressed their appreciation with warm applause.

First-year Tanaka Justice then greeted his debut on the Koshien mound.

After a moment—

"Game over!"

"Waseda Industries! Total score 12:3! Advancing to the Summer League top four for the second consecutive year!!!"
