"It looks like the next batter will probably be the last batter of the game! Two outs and the bases loaded! There's still one out!"

"There's another one!"

"There's another one!"

"There's another one!"

"There's another one!"

At this time, except for De Chuan Middle School's own support lineup, almost the entire audience resounded with the same voice. King's defeat and grassroots counterattack were what the audience liked to watch the most.

This puts huge pressure on Fukushima, who is already standing on Batter's Box. As No Hit in today's competition, and usually in the team, he is just an ordinary player.

At this moment, the dignity of the team, victory or defeat, everything was weighing on him.

It's a wonderful opportunity to become famous, and a chance to be a hero, but this is not a huge pressure that everyone can bear.

At this time, Fukushima couldn't calm down, and even his fingers were trembling.

"Bagaya road! Fukushima!!!

Cheer me up! You are such a badass! "At this time, the angry voice of Egawa on first base came.

That's right. He who just wanted to fight Akashi was ruthlessly walked. Seeing that the batter behind him was so useless, he was almost furious.

This is also the scary thing about baseball. No matter what kind of hitter he is, there may be times when the fate of the team is handed over to him. At this time, the team has no choice.

As a student baseball player, De Chuan is not rich enough to put a strong player on the bench as a substitute like a professional team.

"Egawa!" Fukushima heard this voice and turned his head. What he saw was Egawa's bloodshot eyes.

He took a deep breath and forced himself to cheer up.

"You're right! Egawa I'm a big bastard!

For the seniors, this may be the last game in junior high school.

I can't lose because I'm afraid of not performing well! "Fukushima thought in his heart, and the trembling in his body began to slowly recover.

"That's it! Fukushima! Now you are our hero! It doesn't matter if you cry or it's funny, just fight with all your strength!

If you lose out of fear, I will never forgive you! "Seeing that Fukushima seemed to have figured it out, he gave his final encouragement.

What he said is right, whether it's funny or crying, just do it with all your strength. No one wants to force him at this critical moment! But this is baseball they can't choose!

"Yo!!! West!!!" Fukushima roared at the top of his lungs!

"Don't be frightened by their momentum, there is one more person left! There is no retreat for both of us, let's go and fight!" Sendou was also afraid that his friends would be overwhelmed by the pressure, so he shouted the same.

"Yo west!!!"

"It starts now! It starts now! Ei-chan! Attack!"

Others in the field also began to encourage each other, and the whole field was filled with shouts. The pressure was not just on the offensive side!

The pressure becomes greater towards the end of a baseball game. In this situation, this pressure can greatly affect the outcome of the game. Whether you win or lose, it all depends on your mentality!

"Play!" The referee signaled the start of the game in this tense atmosphere.

"Crack!"

"Bad ball!"

"First goal Inside Corner Ball, bad goal!" The commentator immediately followed.

Sawamura is no longer in Wild Run, so the random full-force pitching has also been reduced. Otherwise, explosive pitching is no joke. There is basically no possibility of Takeda catching such a ball. It is very difficult to block it in front of the body!

In this game, a tie means defeat. Akashi has no capital to fight Extra Innings again.

"Crack!"

"Good shot!"

"Swing empty, Fukushima swung empty at Outside Corner Ball!"

"There's another one!"

"There's another one!"

Seeing Akashi get a good ball, the whole audience shouted again.

Both sides are trying every means to encourage their players, come on!

"The third ball! Shot!"

"Ah!!!"

Fukushima swings the bat with all his strength. Even if he holds a short bat, he can still penetrate the infield even if he releases the ball early.

"Crack!"

However, after swinging the bat, he spun around in circles and still didn't touch the ball hair at all.

"Straight ball in the center! Swing it empty, so there are two good balls and one bad ball. De Chuan Middle School is only one good ball away from defeat!!!"

"Our advantage!" the nine Akashi people thought at the same time, and the seven people except Wakaba and Sawamura were even more so. Their Desire to Win hopes started to grow like weeds in their hearts since Sendou said those words yesterday!

They are extremely eager to dedicate their victory to Sendou!

I want to prove to everyone the excellence of Sendou!

"De Chuan Middle School is at the end of its rope!!!"

"Damn it!!!" Egawa's clenched fists didn't know where to swing. There was no way to use this kind of power. He could only watch his team lose the game and feel helpless. It was really hard to explain.

At this time, no one can blame Fukushima. Everyone knows that his catching ability is weak. Now all they can do is watch Fukushima, who barely made the right timing in the first two times, swing the bat for the last time!

"Don't be afraid, there is still one last ball, we are going to win!" At this time Sawamura also felt tired, but due to this excited state, it did not affect his performance.

"Don't..."

"Ping!"

"... Scared!" Sawamura heard the voice and looked forward fiercely.

"The ball went behind the catcher!

The catcher rushed out to catch it. Can he catch it? There was no way, the ball hit the guardrail and the game was almost over! "

"What a pity!!!" There was also a sound of pity from the stands.

"It's still one bad ball and two good balls! The batter forced himself to continue his bat! This game is really exciting.

Even for me, my heart almost jumped out! "

Not only the commentators, but also all the members of De Chuan Middle School were scared to death! The game was just one step away from ending.

"The game has reached this level. It can be said that Akashi must end the game in this game." The commentator calmly analyzed the game situation of Akagi Middle School, who had the absolute advantage.

"With the last ball, we can enter the quarterfinals! Win with all your strength and with caution!" Sawamura thought to himself when he was throwing the ball!

"Ping!"

The next moment Sawamura looked at the batter in front of him in astonishment!

"It was a hit!!! The batter himself had a look of disbelief on his face! The ball didn't fly very fast, but it landed in a very interesting place!"

"Catch it!!!" Akashi's supporters shouted!

"Let's land!!!" De Chuan's bench and supporters also shouted at the same time.

This ball can be said to be the last chance. No matter what the result is, the runners will run like crazy!

"No!!!"

"Park!"

"It's landed!!!

Passed between Infield Shift's center field and left field! The runner on third base came back and the score was tied!!!

The ball was passed straight to home plate by the center fielder, but it was too late. The second base runner also returned the base, reversal!!!

Sayunala!!! Two-run comeback with the bases loaded Walk-off Hit!

The game is over!!!

Entering the top eight is De Chuan Middle School!!! "Although the commentator has been biased towards Akashi, in the end he still has to do his duty and complete his work.

At this time, all the runners of De Chuan were hugging each other at home plate and crying!

The players on the bench also filed out!

At his most desperate moment, he was saved by a blow from the person least likely to be a hero.

But what should be most concerned about at this time is the people of Akashi who had the upper hand in the end.

Incredible? Incredible! But this incredible thing is baseball!

Only in baseball would such nonsense happen!

At this moment, Sawamura covered his face with a ball cap! At this moment Wakaba was crying quietly!

At this moment, Ono in the infield and Oomura in the outfield, Aoki knelt on the ground, his eyes were lifeless, tears could not stop flowing out, and his body did not even have the strength to stand up.

Even Sendou was a little shocked for a moment. He couldn't believe it. He thought the strikeout was basically scheduled. Teacher Sano cried!.

Although Akashi has lost miserably before, this is the first time for such a terrible loss!!!

The referee is also very humane and waits for the two teams to vent! He also knew that this game was too hurtful for the children. Even if De Chuan lost directly, it would not be such a big blow.

"Bang!" A clear voice sounded from the Akashi bench where there were only two people.

"Pah!" Sendou patted his forehead!

"Damn it! I lost! I thought I had already won!" Sendou under his palm was annoyed, but he accepted the reality and stood up and walked slowly towards the court!

Walking to the sidelines, Sendou just stared at the entire stadium. Two minutes passed, and De Chuan's people were still hugging him and crying!

His friends were either kneeling or lying there, Sawamura was standing on Pitcher's Mound, and Wakaba was squatting on the ground with his legs together.

A few minutes later, Wakaba ran towards Sawamura. Aoki stood up slowly, his eyes still lacked energy, but he walked to Oomura next to him.

"Get up, it's time to line up!" Pulling his arm, he slowly pulled Oomura up.

Seeing this Sendou smiled slightly and walked into the field with the last helplessness.

"Line up!!!" Seeing Akashi coming back from the outfield and Sendou entering the field and starting to support his teammates, the referee blew the whistle!

Not only Akashi De Chuan students were also supported, but Egawa, who shouted the most fiercely before, cried the most miserably.

"Ceremony!!!"

"Thanks for the advice!!!"

Sawamura was feeling much better at this time. After all, no one at Akashi would retire. They still have next year.

"Wait! We will definitely win next year!!!" Sawamura shouted loudly, and then led others towards the bench.

"Come on! Take our share!" Now after everyone left, he slowly said to Takahashi of De Chuan.

"Yeah!!!" At this time, they were also very excited and couldn't even say complete words. Takahashi just agreed in a muffled voice.

"Speaking of which, the main players in your team are basically sophomores! You will continue to have headaches next year!" Sendou finally made a joke and walked back!

De Chuan Everyone also wants to go back and thank the audience!

This has nothing to do with Akashi. They did not support them last year.

But this year, no, today is different!

"Sendou!"

"Sawamura!"

"Ei-chan!"

"Wakaba-chan!"

"You have done a great job. Come on next year! We will always support you!"

"Thank you very much for your support!" lined up, Teacher Sano was the first to bow in thanks!

"Thank you!!!"

"Akila!" Fumino in the stands looked at Sendou worriedly. Although she knew that Sendou would not be hit too hard, her worry could not stop her!

"Stop crying! It's not like we are about to graduate. We will win back next year!" Sendou said to everyone after going out to meet Fumino.

"But!..." Ono said.

"Huh?"

"But, we really want to prove Sen-chan's guidance!" Aoki said!

"Huh?"

"Didn't Sen-chan say that? He stopped playing baseball after graduating from junior high school!... So everyone wants to let everyone know before graduation that we have grown under the leadership of Sen-chan!

Prove that Sen-chan is powerful! "

"So you guys..." Sendou couldn't go on at this point!

"Is that why you guys have such high Desire to Win? What a lame excuse! "I said the second half of the sentence in my heart.

"I never need you to prove anything! Idiots! "What he said after that was a stern line.

Even though he was reversed like that, Sendou didn't have any sad expression at this moment.

Pretending to be speechless, he raised his head and sighed deliberately... He was afraid of tears!

"Is that so? "At this time, Sawamura, who was completely back to normal, suddenly interrupted the heavy atmosphere with a cute look. He didn't have such complicated thoughts as everyone else. His sadness was just because he was unwilling to play the game just now, so he was fine.

But such a funny Sawamura didn't make anyone laugh.

"Ha! You guy! ...Okay, let's go back! "Sendou will not let go of this opportunity and pulls Sawamura away.

"Although we lost, everyone did a great job, I'll treat everyone to a barbecue! "Teacher Sano said in a timely manner.

But it seemed to have no effect, everyone was silent, but Sawamura responded passionately, and Sendou also pretended to be happy, but no one except Fumino could see Sendou's disguise. Even Fumino only felt the sadness and touch with his heart based on his understanding of Sendou.

On the way, Sendou covered up his tears by looking out the window and pretending to sleep. Then he suggested buying it back and making it himself. He saw that no one was in the mood to eat, so he decided to spend it at school.

Sure enough, everyone had no appetite after returning, and they just ate the barbecue as if to vent their emotions, as if eating to vent their emotions.

It should be said that I didn't want to hide it, there was nothing to hide.

"Training will be stopped for the next two weeks and everyone should take a good rest! "In the end, Sendou saw the situation and could only make this announcement to give everyone some time.

"Are you okay! "She asked on the way back to Fumino.

"Not at all, you don't think I was hit because of today's game, do you? Who do you think I am?"

"No! "Fumino shook his head, and then looked straight at Sendou.

"Hey! I don't know either! "Sendou replied as if she really couldn't stand the other person's gaze.

"Oh! Then no problem!"

"Ha? What do you mean?"

"Fine! fine! "Fumino feels much lighter.

"Really!"

Halfway through writing, I almost had the urge to just ignore it and let the protagonist win.

In the end, I convinced myself that my defeat here was decided before I even started the book.

Except for the plot, overall I think it's okay!

Such a tragic defeat cannot be meaningless.

above.

I have been rushing to write recently and have no time to ask for votes, so the results are a bit miserable! Finally, I am here to ask for recommendations and other things. Thank you all, thank you!
