While thanking the Alps stands.

Takashi Nishino, who insisted on not leaving his weak side, still let tears fall down his cheeks.

This is not a tears shed for regret, but a tears of thanks.

In the auditorium on the third base side.

Thousands of county citizens came to the support of Sanchong, and they decorated the green on the stands, just like the layers of mountains around the stadium in their hometown.

"Thank you very much for the support!"

Baishan players bowed collectively in front of the stands and thanked for their last support this summer.

Even though the sound of the blowing was not as magnificent as the opponent of Osaka Kirie, the jumping crowd tried their best to create a huge support.

From the scale of support, Shiratsuyama overwhelmed Osaka's entire play.

When standing up at the strike zone, the players felt the support from their hometown most deeply.

Jiaziyuan is connected to the players and people from their hometowns.

Baishan players returned to the rest seat to pack up their things and took out the bags they had prepared long ago.

Ito Nao put the bag on the ground, knelt down, and scooped the soil with both hands into the bag.

Other third-grade Baishan players also walked out of the rest seat, knelt in a row, poached some soil from Jiaziyuan, and prepared to take it back for souvenirs.

The losing party brought some Jiaziyuan dirt back, which is a tradition in high school baseball for many years.

At this time, all the players in the third grade of Baishan knelt on the ground and scooped up soil, while the players in the lower grade helped the seniors pack up equipment and equipment in the back.

When the seniors were digging the soil, Kazuya Nishino behind them kept crying.

Tetsu Nishino comforted him.

What appeared in front of Tetsu Nishino was the face of a boy crying, and his previous confidence no longer existed.

He hugged Kazuya Nishino in his arms, and Tetsu Nishino let him cry until he gradually choked and stopped his tears.

Afterward.

The Baishan High School baseball team packed up their things and exited the stadium from the player passage in sequence.

"Kaya...let's go."

Tetsu Nishino picked up another heavy backpack and asked Kazuya Nishino to follow the team and walk into the player channel with everyone.

When Takashi Nishino walked into the passage and was about to disappear into the live broadcast, commentator Yamashita said with emotion.

"The miraculously low-key player of Shiratsuyama High School stopped at the semi-finals, and Osaka Kiriyuki stood in front of them like a towering iron wall."

“4 home runs!”

"11 RBI!"

"The Monster's annual challenge... is over..."

As Kazuya Nishino and Tetsu Nishino entered the player passage from the sidelines, many spectators walked down spoke words of encouragement to them through the protection net.

This summer, after a year of arrest, has been deeply rooted in people's memory.

"come on!"

"I've worked very hard!"

"We will come back to Jiaziyuan next year!"

Although many viewers hope to see Baishan’s arrest in the summer next year, in fact, it is destined that the process is very difficult to achieve this wish.

As far as the opponents in the prefecture are concerned, Mie High School, Tsuda Academy, and Haixing High School all have the strength to play in Kokoto.

After Baishan High School won the victory in this year's county conference as a dark horse, these strong teams in the county have long been waiting for the opportunity to play against Baishan.

...

After leaving the game, the players of Baishan returned to their hotel.

After a little washing and cleaning, everyone gathered in the lobby and prepared to have a post-match meeting before the meal.

More than a dozen cameras are set up around the lobby, and several media tracking high school baseball events are in progress to take pictures of Baishan High School.

Although the atmosphere was silent, it had recovered overall, so it was quieter.

Supervisor Totoshi stood in front of the players.

Looking at the familiar young faces in front of me, I couldn't help but say what I said in my heart.

"You guys have done a great job."

"In the past few years I served as supervisor, your class has been difficult to get started, but being able to achieve such results has brought us here."

"Everyone really grew into a strong team."

Take out two baseballs covered with dirt from the box, and Supervisor Totoshi lets the two female managers stand in front of everyone.

"As the 19th and 20th players of the team, you and everyone worked hard until the end."

"Thank you for three years."

"I'll give these two dirtiest baseballs to you."

Because Jiaziyuan tradition is strict with girls, female members of the baseball department are unable to enter the stadium, so they cannot poach the soil of Jiaziyuan.

Supervisor Dongtuoshi specially gave them the balls that were stained with the most soil in Jiaziyuan.

These baseballs were brought by the White Mountain Baseball Department themselves and were only used for field training. After returning, they can be given as souvenirs to those who support the team.

Then Toshitaoji looked around the players and said solemnly.

“I plan to have the graduation ceremony for my third year student at the place where Jiaziyuan is.”

"so……"

"All three years old are born out of the list!"

There were 13 third-year players from the baseball department of Shiratsuyama High School, all of whom came to the front of the lobby and stood in a row in front of Higashitaoji.

Toshitaoji walked to the third-grade players and shook hands with them one by one.

"Thank you for three years..."

While shaking hands with the players, Toshitaoji also chatted softly about every bit of the past three years from time to time.

In a moment, the players' emotional defense was broken, and many people's noses were sore and they shed tears.

"Ito..." Superintendent Totakuji walked to Ito Nao and held his hand tightly.

Ito Nao looked up at the roof, hoping to pour the tears that were about to burst out into the back of her pupils.

"I hope you can continue to play baseball in college."

Hitoshi's words immediately made Ito Nao collapse, and he raised his other hand to cover his face and started crying.

Ito Nao has poor grades, and when he first entered the school, the baseball team was not strong, and there were very few players, so he felt that the baseball team of Shiratsuyama High School was not good at all.

My classmates and school life are also boring. Ito Nao feels very troublesome and plans to give up.

Whenever Ito Satoshi wanted to give up, Supervisor Totaku and his teammates stopped him.

For a while, Ito planned to drop out of school and start looking for a job.

Want to make money by yourself and play with your own money.

That time, Ito really planned to drop out of school, not just leaving the baseball department.

However, that time he was persuaded by the supervision of Totoshi again.

"If you give up now, the rest of your life will be work, and you will have to graduate even if you only have high school."

Since then, Ito has never said to give up and has been focusing on baseball.

Ito once joked that he planned to continue playing baseball in college after graduating from high school, but unexpectedly, this sentence was kept firmly in the heart of the supervisor.

If there was no baseball, Ito should be working now, rather than standing on the Kokosen Stadium as a player.

"It's really great to be able to come to Kaziyuan. In order to get into university, I will definitely study hard..." Ito Nao said whimpering.

Looking around.

After looking at everyone who was sad, Superintendent Totoshi wiped away the tears from his eyes.
