When Lin Guanglai hit the ball, the entire Koshien erupted like boiling water—the sharp sound of the baseball colliding with the bat resonated throughout the stadium.
Sitting in the outfield stands, although he couldn't clearly see Elder Lin's batting motion, Seiomi Koutaro, who himself was a powerful hitter, knew all too well: just watching the trajectory of the baseball flying up, he understood the outcome of this at-bat.
This hit had sealed the deal!
After reaching its highest point, the baseball, gradually losing its upward momentum, began to descend toward the location of the outfield stands, further igniting the entire outfield of Koshien.
Despite the fact that tickets for the outfield seats don't offer a clear view of the game, a large number of people flock to buy them, mainly because, apart from being cheaper than other seats, they have a significant advantage at times like this—whenever a player hits a home run, they have a chance to catch the ball themselves.
