Compared to Nihon University Tsurugaoka, who were suffocated by Lin Guanglai's pitching and Waseda Jitsugyo's solid defense, Waseda Jitsugyo's offense, although not outstanding, was steadily advancing.
The pressure brought by the finals was still visible to everyone.
The entire Waseda Jitsugyo lineup appeared somewhat tense in today's game: between swinging with full force and selecting pitches, they often hesitated, ultimately missing good pitches or hitting bad balls under two-strike pressure due to their indecision.
Logically speaking, with the team's offensive performance, coach Izumi Minoru and the players should be very anxious at this moment. After all, if the offense stalls, the team's defense could easily be affected.
However, Lin Guanglai's dominance today was simply too strong.
The game had gone two and a half innings, and the score was still 0–0.
