The live band played the march of the conference.

According to the process informed by the previous staff, Zhang Zhe knew that at this time, the commander would step forward to take back the winning flag.

I am not afraid of jokes when I think about it. Zhang Zhe once rehearsed the process of receiving the flag in his sleep, so he felt that the scene in front of him was somewhat familiar, probably because all awards processes are similar.

Taking off his hat and temporarily handing it to Komada Ryusei next to him, Zhang Zhe put on a serious face and stepped forward steadily.

"Pap tap tap tap tap!!!" The audience burst into applause.

Walking to the home plate area, Zhang Zhe bowed to the president of Asahi Shimbun, then took a step forward and took the winning flag handed to him with both hands.

"congratulations!"

"Thanks!"

Zhang Zhe held the flagpole of the winning flag with both hands. The weight of the flag was lighter than expected.

Hajia's winning flag is changed every 60 years. The new flag was replaced at the 100th meeting last year. Only two ribbons were hung on the entire winning flag.

[Winner of the 100th Tournament—Osaka Kirikage]

[Winner of the 101st Tournament——Hakusan]

Holding the winning flag and walking back, Zhang Zhe couldn't suppress the smile on his pretended serious face, and returned to the far right of the queue under the attention of his teammates.

Putting the flagpole on the ground, Zhang Zhe stood at attention, put on his hat, and watched Komada Ryusei go up to receive the winning shield.

Komada Ryusei came back nervously holding the winning shield.

Zhang Zhe, who was in a good mood, asked quietly: "How do you feel?"

"The shield is a bit big and difficult to hold," Komada Ryusei said in a rare whisper. "I was afraid of dropping it when I walked back."

When the two of them shared their feelings about receiving the award, Captain Xing Leng went up to receive the Quasi-Winner Shield.

The next step is to award individual medals.

All the Baishan players were shocked and looked at the golden medal with a red ribbon in their eyes.

The authentic winning flag will be returned to Takano Ren next year, and the winning shield will be placed in the honor room of the school baseball club. Only the winning medals can be kept personally by the players.

After wearing the winning medals, the Baishan players couldn't help but lower their heads, take a look and touch the medals.

The words "2019", "101 times" and "win" engraved on it are the best proof of the honor of national dominance.

After the Xinglin players received the semi-winner medals, the 101st Xia Liga closing ceremony ended.

During the free time, players from the two teams were either packing things, taking out bags and digging in the soil, or standing together in twos and threes chatting with each other.

Players from Baishan and Xingling exchanged their team’s hats.

Zhang Zhe changed into the hat of Captain Shinnosuke Yamase of Seiryo and chatted with Shinnosuke Yamase, Kyōnobu Okugawa and others.

Kyoushin Okukawa, who had cried before, calmed down and said to Zhang Zhe with a wry smile: "Xiao Zhe, I lost to you this time."

"We have been preparing for a long time and put in a lot of effort to hit your pitch, Okukawa-senpai."

Zhang Zhe is not specifically complimenting Okawa Kyoshinobu. Hakuyama has indeed been preparing for a long time to deal with fastball pitchers.

In the Spring League, Hakusan was defeated by a team with a fastball pitcher, and the opponents in Mie Prefecture also had a fastball pitcher as their trump card. Therefore, Hakusan players worked hard on hitting for half a year and made great progress this summer.

In this final, Hakusan players got a total of 11 hits from Okugawa Kyoushin.

If Okugawa Kyoshin had enough rest time and played in a normal state, maybe there would be different variables and developments in the finals.

Xing Leng supporters can certainly imagine hypotheticals for comfort. Unfortunately, player status management itself is also a part of sports competition, and it may take a long time for them to smooth over their knots.

The players knew where they were inferior to their opponents, and when victory or defeat was decided, they showed each other respect and friendship for their opponents.

Players from the two teams exchanged ball caps and took a group photo.

“Thanks for the advice!!!!”

“See you soon!!!!”

After saying goodbye to their opponents, the White Mountain players got on the bus back to the hotel.

The excited White Mountain players couldn't calm down for a long time. They either played with the medals with great interest, crowded over to study the workmanship of the victory flag, or happily posted social media on their mobile phones.

There was laughter and laughter in the car.

Zhang Zhe rubbed the medals in his hands and smiled at everyone's happiness. He thought to himself, the seniors must be very happy now too.

Tsuji-senpai, Yamamoto-senpai, Iwata-senpai, Aoi-senpai... Japan is number one, we have achieved it, national dominance, we have achieved it, have you seen it?

Approaching the hotel entrance, the car slowly stopped.

In the car, I heard cheers from the crowd outside the car, and through the car window I saw many people standing at the door of the hotel to greet me.

“Congratulations on the win!!!”

"National dominance!!!"

"You guys are the best!!"

Amidst shouts and applause, Zhang Zhe was the first to get out of the car, holding the winning flag. When he saw the familiar faces in front of him, his eyes suddenly became wet.

Seniors from the previous third grade class and seniors from the baseball club who often support us all came.

"Everyone..." Zhang Zhe was so happy that he wanted to cry.

Former baseball team captain Tsuji Hiroki looked at the bright red winning flag with envy and said with emotion: "Xiao Zhe, you did a great job. You did what we couldn't do."

"You have grown into a great captain."

"We are proud of you."

At the entrance, the Baishan players were praised by their seniors before going in for a celebration party.

The venue has been set up, and the White Mountain players expressed their winning experiences on the stage and took group photos in a noisy manner.

Film crews from various media followed the entire process.

The reporter and host of "Hot Fight Koshien" also joined the noisy Hakusan players for a group photo.

Later, during a separate interview, Zhang Zhe was caught once. The young reporter and host smiled and congratulated him on setting many records in the conference.

Apart from anything else, the record of 7 home runs and 33 RBI in a single conference may only be broken by Zhang Zhe himself in the future.

The record of five consecutive home runs in a single game may never be matched at Koshien Stadium.

The celebration party was followed by a sumptuous celebration banquet.

Looking at the various dishes made with expensive ingredients in front of them, the Baishan players, who had been tired for a day, whetted their appetites and started to feast one after another.

While feasting on their food, everyone also played various mini games.

Fortunately, everyone can only drink juice, otherwise we would be drunk tonight.

…

News of White Mountain High School's Hagar Championship win swept the nation.

Articles such as "Japan's No. 1 Underdog", "The Legend of Summer" and "From the Bottom to Japan's No. 1" convey shocking stories to the hearts of people who love high school baseball.

When the Hakusan players returned to Mie County by car, they were welcomed by tens of thousands of county residents.

64 years of violation!

The winning flag returns to Mie Prefecture!

Looking at the endless crowds of people who came spontaneously, the Baishan players were excited and full of expectations for the coming year.

Baishan High School, whose main lineup is mostly sophomore players, still has strong strength, and there are many laurels waiting for them to win in the next year.

This is the best era for the Mie Prefectural Hakusan High School Baseball Club.
Chapter completed!
