"Guanglai, get ready to go on the field." Izumi Minoru called out to Lin Guanglai, who was sitting there, asking him to warm up again.
The score on the field had now reached 2:5, with Kantou Number One still leading by three runs.
After Suzuki Kensuke left the game due to injury, Izumi Minoru pondered and chose to replace him with the second-year Uchida Saint—there was no other reason, this stubborn old man wanted to gamble once more for the team's upcoming schedule:
Before the match against Kantou Number One began, Takayama had already completed the draw for the next round: if Waseda Jitsugyo could pass successfully today, their opponent tomorrow would be the Chiba Representative, Narita High School.
It is foreseeable that against Narita, which is built around the ace pitcher Nakagawa Ryosuke, Waseda Jitsugyo would also need a strong pitcher to respond.
