At the end of the first inning, with a powerful burst from the top of the lineup, the championship favorite Waseda Industries led the dark horse Sakushin Gakuin 4:0.
Such a score, in the opinion of many, was still considered a relatively reasonable outcome.
In the following second inning, neither side had any break, and the total score remained unchanged at 4:0.
The offense of Sakushin Gakuin was completely suppressed by Lin Guanglai alone, failing to get on base for two consecutive innings, and once again bitterly swallowing the fruit of three up and three down;
On Waseda's side, although the offensive lineup was in better form, the termination ability of the latter part of the lineup in key moments was indeed somewhat deficient. Even though they continuously moved into the scoring circle with hit-and-run tactics, they were still defended by the opponent and couldn't complete the task of scoring.
