The Shengong Stadium, packed with people, was now silent—if no one had mentioned it, no one would think that a baseball game was ongoing here.
In the center of the field, it was the bottom of the sixth inning, with Waseda Industries at bat.
The first five innings of the game were truly a showcase for the pitchers—neither Lin Guanglai nor Yoshinaga Kentarou allowed a single run and continually stifled several batters, making it difficult even to advance to second base.
However, at the start of this half-inning, the situation on the field changed dramatically:
Nihon University's attrition tactics against Lin Guanglai were effective, and balancing pitching and batting duties pushed Lin Guanglai's stamina to its limit sooner than usual.
