When the chief umpire announced the end of the game, at first, the Waseda players were a bit dazed;
But as their minds gradually caught up, a surge of ecstasy, like an electric current, shocked their nerves and made them realize the current situation:
Oh right, we won!!!
We... we've finally made it to Koshien!!!
Tsuchiya Ryota, squatting as the catcher behind home plate, was the first to react. He suddenly took off his catcher's mask and sprinted towards the pitcher's mound.
Led by him, Waseda's players rushed towards the pitcher's mound from the dugout, infield, and outfield. They tightly surrounded the biggest hero of today's victory, Lin Guanglai, hugging each other, singing and dancing, all pointing their index fingers to the sky.
"Champions, champions~ ole, ole, ole!!!"
"So awesome hahaha, I'm going to Koshien!!!"
"We are the champions!!!"
