As the venue setup was nearly complete, the stadium's broadcast came on once again:
"Next, we will proceed with the closing ceremony of the tournament. Players, please line up quickly and wait for the ceremony to begin."
Upon hearing the broadcast reminder, Waseda Jitsugyo players quickly broke away from the afterglow of victory and rushed towards the player entrance, lining up swiftly.
As the entrance music played again, Waseda Jitsugyo's team manager, third-year student Yuki Ono, held high the school nameplate that read "Waseda Industries" and stood at the front of the line; behind her, the players marched in orderly steps towards the area behind the home plate.
Once both teams stood with their backs towards the home plate, the first segment of the closing ceremony began — Fujii Bunyu, the then-President of the Tokyo High School Baseball Federation, gave remarks on the tournament's games and expressed his congratulations.
