Bottom of the Eighth Inning, starting with a stick of Kyoma University.
But unlike what Nitta Manager thought, this pitcher's physical strength can still support him to throw very powerful balls.
"Three out! Change sides!"
In the blink of an eye, Kyoma University was left with Three Up, Three Down.
"It's amazing. How many kilos is it?"
"It's only 6K, but he hasn't pitched many games. The one he faced before was Central Batting Lineup."
"So, he has knocked out Kyoma University's four bats several times in a row."
If Kyoma University's four sticks could hear the voices of the audience, they would definitely feel even more aggrieved. Like Seido's four sticks, he is also a particularly targeted target.
In the first inning, the second and third bats hit one after another. When it came to his side, the pitcher was replaced by Kōshū, and he hit a double play. In the third inning, the second and third bats followed On Base. It was his turn to face off against Kōshū, and he contributed again. With one out, On Base finally got through in the sixth inning, and then Seido replaced Kōshū, striking out five and six at-bats, but his On Base still didn't translate into points.
Of course, if it's bad, Yuki doesn't give in too much. Every time it's his turn, Kyoma University and Pitcher's Mound are exchanged in various ways.
"Next is the four-ball game. Listen carefully. If you need to walk, walk. Don't show off. Victory is the most important thing." Nitta Manager blocked the entrance and had to wait for Hongo to nod in humiliation before giving up his position.
"Seido's attack round, three bats, center fielder, Mr. Isashiki."
"Hey!" Isashiki came on stage and looked around Dugout, and finally met Kōshū's eyes, "Look, I'll give you a shot!"
"Oh... Come on!" Before everyone came on stage, even if they had any words of encouragement or shouting, they were all shouted by themselves. How could there be someone like Isashiki who would say it specifically to specific people?
Then the seniors somehow made an agreement, and Yuki and Masuko, who were about to attack, came over and patted him on the shoulder.
After they left, Kōshū was a little confused. Tanba's voice came from behind. "They are probably thanking you for persisting until the end."
Seeing the first-year pitcher's surprised look, he said, "You should rest quickly, your body is already starting to feel sore."
After being enlightened by senior Tanba, the anxious fog in front of my eyes dissipated, 'Ah, you're right, this game may be the last game with the seniors, no matter whether you lose or win..
West Tokyo, Daoshi Image Studio.
"It was a complete pitching battle. I didn't expect that it was the first grader who supported Seido until the end." Narumiya Mei, who was far away from West Tokyo, was pouting. Today, he is still a staunch follower of Koshien, but he is chasing Koshien of Seido's game.
"With Koshien's ace experience, he will definitely grow a lot after he comes back."
"Huh? Then I am one year ahead of his Koshien experience!"
Miyabi just said a few words when he was choked by his trump card again.
"Ming, I'm serious. It's just like how you Koshien has grown since you came back. It's impossible for the other party to remain unchanged. It may not be obvious in the fall. You will be in the third grade next year. At that time, West Tokyo Preliminaries and Seido must be our biggest opponents."
Harada's words made Narumiya's face become serious, but before this expression lasted for a second, it was replaced by a surprised expression with his mouth wide open, "Look, look, Seido's four bats finally got a hit!"
Koshien's game goes into the ninth inning. With one out and someone on second base, he only needs a double to score the lead.
Masuko holds the bat tightly, the weather is hot, but there is a fire in his heart. He hits it out and wins in exchange. This is Koshien's victory!
"Touch-" He was not suppressed by Koshien's victory hat, he raised the bat horizontally and hit it lightly.
"Safe!"
"Out!"
"Even under the current circumstances, these kids from Seido still choose to keep their eyes on a base!"
The audience, who originally thought that the game was going to be extended, began to look forward to the performance of the next player Seido.
So who is the next Seido player?
"Senior Miyuki——" A ghostly voice came from behind, "Fight out——"
Miyuki shook and walked directly towards Batter's Box without daring to look back.
With two outs and a man on third base, Hongo's dark emotions almost materialized on Pitcher's Mound.
As for why, everyone will soon know.
"Bad ball!"
"Four balls, walk!"
After walking nine pitchers before, and now walking six catchers, the chatter in the audience became louder and louder. Some of them started to say things like "the pitchers are scared", and some people noticed Kyoma University Dugout, Nitta Manager's instructions, "That supervisor is really cruel, letting the players face such criticism."
But it turns out that the method used by Kyoma University is effective, and the seven-stick Shirazu is indeed the soft persimmon that is relatively easy to pinch.
"Three outs! Change sides!" Seido left two bases, first and third, without scoring.
The crisis of being beaten out by Seido was resolved. In addition to the person involved being a little unhappy, Nitta Manager rarely praised Hongo's knowledge of current affairs at the entrance.
"This is very good, we are basically sure to win!" The next Kyoma University hit 456 bats, and even with Bottom of the Ninth Inning, they still couldn't get a breakthrough, so they would extend the game. In terms of the pitcher's physical strength, they had a complete advantage.
"You have all seen this pitcher pitch at least once. Even if he can't hit it, you still have to fight for a few more balls to make his energy drain faster."
"Hi!——"
On the Seido side, when the shouts of the Kyoma University players reached here, everyone fell silent for two seconds.
"What's wrong, what's wrong?" Kōshū, who came back from Locker Room, raised his voice deliberately, "Isn't it my turn to pitch next? Don't we have the same score? In this case, just go to the next game!"
Yuki nodded, "Yes, stop thinking about the first half of the game and concentrate on the defense of the second half!"
"Okay!"
"Yoshi!"
"Let's go!"
Everyone finally regained their composure, but Miyuki stayed behind, "Are you soaked with sweat?" He was curious about what Kōshū was doing behind.
The two walked side by side in the field, and Kōshū broke the silence. "I just went to vomit, and now I'm much better."
"Eh?" Miyuki forgot to hide his expression because he heard something unexpected, and then he covered his mouth with his gloves, "What's going on? Are you feeling unwell?"
"It's better to say it's much better now. I'm in a better state now."
Miyuki stopped there and struggled for a while, "I'll tell the supervisor when this round is over."
"Haha, okay."
