The game entered the second half of the seventh inning, the score was 11 to 8, and Seidou led by three points.
And it was Seidou's attack. With one out, runner Miyuki was on first base, and the batter was Kominato Haruichi.
"Raging Seven Consecutive Hits!!!"
"One or two! Nice strike!!!"
"Yo Xi!" The female manager Sachiko had already waved her little fist.
Haruno has been holding Senior Takako, not to mention how worried these managers were when they were ahead.
Fumino is a little confused about her own affairs, but when it comes to others, she is a bystander.
The Seidou bench and support seats were filled with jubilation. This game lasted more than a full round. Counting the pauses in the middle, for Seidou's supporters, it was really a long time of fun.
"So strong! This is Seidou Batting Lineup!"
"This explosive power is really incredible!"
"Ah! In addition to the pitcher, he can hit one to eight bats and is an absolute super hitter!
Only when it broke out did people realize how terrifying Seidou Batting Lineup is! "
Over in the auditorium, the melon-eating audience also began to recognize some things clearly.
Although I knew Seidou Batting Lineup was very strong before, my opponent was too weak!
Other strong lines also have high scores. Seidou doesn't feel that it is stronger even if it has a few more points than other teams.
But once against a caliber pitcher like Sanada, the gap really begins to show.
"This is a three-point difference, which is the extra score that Tanba hopes for! (I just found out today that it is the same point difference as Oomae said during the outbreak in the original work!)
Unexpectedly, just a few months after Spring Tournament, Seidou Batting Lineup would evolve into this!
Especially for Sendou, his progress can be described as rapid. He no longer has the feeling of relying entirely on talent to play in the spring.
And his growth has made Seidou Batting Lineup, which was originally a little coherent, perfect.
No batter other than Nine is easy to deal with.
And when Furuya was a pitcher, he had enough lethality even with nine bats. "Ichidai San High over there, Oomae sighed.
"Ah!" Manaka responded.
Although Oomae's words are relative, facing real top pitchers like Manaka, Hirobi Tate, and Narumiya Mei, Seidou Batting Lineup is not as fake as what he said.
Otherwise, it would not be a lineup of a famous family, but an All-Star lineup of four famous families in the country.
"Damn! It should have been ours to fight Seidou! It makes me want to play baseball even more!" Hirakawa said.
The situation of the famous families is similar. They have almost no rest time except baseball in the past three years.
Now that there is a holiday, they don't know what to do or where to go. They seem to be out of touch with society. This is the current situation of these dream-chasing teenagers.
"How much do we love baseball!" Oomae said this with a smile on his face.
"That's right! You're going to have a hard time in the next three years!
Your old acquaintance Sendou Akira, and the talented pitcher Furuya, and now there is another Raichi Todoroki.
What will West Tokyo become in the next few years?
Monsters come out one after another, and they are all our West Tokyo. "After saying that, Oomae looked at his junior student again.
Although he did not enter the starting lineup in the summer, he is indeed a solid first-year player First Team.
As expected, Autumn will become one of the Center Batting Lineup in the team.
"Since Sendou doesn't pitch, I won't lose to any pitcher!"
"Haha! This is how you have ambition! Sasaki!
However, you should say that even that guy Sendou has surpassed it! "Hirakawa patted the junior on the shoulder.
"That can't be done! I knew that from the first time I saw him."
"Really, that's really not cute!" Hirakawa was helpless.
"This is self-awareness!"
"Okay! Hirakawa! Don't you know?
When Sendou is mentioned, this guy seems to be a different person! "Oomae stopped Hirakawa who was still talking.
As Sendou's first friend during the wildcat era, Sasaki knew deeply how big the gap between the two was.
I have already recognized the reality. Talent not only determines the lower limit but also the upper limit. There is only one result for human beings to break through the limit, and it is not a good result.
Just like if the human fat rate is less than 3%, the body will be extremely fragile, and it can even be said that it can easily lose its name.
Breaking through the limits shows a fighting spirit and is worthy of encouragement, but trying to break through the upper limit of one's own body is courting death.
Seidou Bench...
"In the beginning, Ball Trajectory, who was easy to fight, only appeared occasionally.
The reason why he has never been a starter is that he is a pitcher who cannot pitch for long periods of time. "Senior Chris concluded.
"Furthermore, the fatigue is obvious, and the power of the ball has also weakened, so we should still be able to score a few points!" Miyuki took over.
Back to the game!
"Phew! Yeah! It's really strong! Hey!
I may cause you more trouble in the future, please forgive me then! "Sanada was not hit even by this.
His heart is really big. Unlike Sendou's Yang type. The latter two will be more excited when encountering strong enemies. Sanada's heart is simply big.
A big heart generally refers to a strong ability to withstand pressure, rather than an inability to feel pressure. Yang Shunchen and Sendou mean enjoying the process of fighting against strong enemies.
Sanada As soon as he said these words, the pharmacist's expression completely changed!
"It doesn't matter at all! Senior Sanada!
Please feel free to trouble me! "Raichi said naturally.
"Ah! I just don't want you to say that!"
"Nande? (Why?)" Raichi, who had no self-awareness, was deeply shocked.
The blatant mistakes before came from, how many infielders couldn't hold the ball and dropped it when passing the ball?
Mingchuan is nervous, this guy is just a dish!
"So don't hold me back! Raichi!"
"It's so noisy! Daddy!"
"This team Fighting Spirit is still very strong! We must not let down our guard!" Sendou sighed after seeing this.
"Ah! It's really difficult!" Miyuki interface.
Xiaoharu, who was getting ready to board Batter's Box, also felt the same for Fighting Spirit as Sanada and made a decision.
"Hey! Xiaochun!" At this time Sendou called him from behind.
Haruichi Look back.
"Just use the feel of the ball to play!" Sendou said with a smile on his face, and at the same time made a gesture to Signals.
This is what Sendou discussed with Xiaochun after he returned home for the first time in the last round.
Signals means that the first ball will most likely be Shootball. If you can hit it, aim for this ball.
Seeing Signals Xiaochun fell into thinking.
"With your feel for the ball, it's possible to hit it. Have you seen it once in the last game? That Shootball!
Now that they still have two chances to attack, what will you choose?
Really looking forward to it! "Sendou was thinking like this in his heart. He couldn't hide his smile and looked very happy.
"Oh? What do you mean? That Signals!" Miyuki put his head over.
After Sendou said something briefly, the two of them laughed evilly together.
Coach Kataoka glanced over, Head Manager Oota was no longer as nervous as before and looked over with great interest. Senior Chris looked at the two reliable and unreliable juniors gently and helplessly.
"Shunpei!!! Come on!" People on the pharmacist bench started shouting as soon as they came up, hoping to give the players courage.
"Let him call over!" This is the voice of catcher Watanabe.
"One out! One out!" Three in right field.
"Come on!"
"Shunpei!"
Various cheering sounds were heard, including some in English, although they were in Japanese style.
"Koharu!"
"Don't lose!"
"Determine the outcome!" At the moment of throwing the ball, both the pitcher and the batter had a flash of thought at the same time!
"Ping!"
"Bang!" The ball bounced and hit the third base glove.
"Yo Xi! Eight consecutive fights!"
"That Shootball was hit!"
"This is the first and second bases! Our attack continues!"
However, Yakushi High School still unswervingly continued to cheer each other up, and the competitive state of both sides was still very good.
"One or two! Nice strike! Hahahahaha!" Cheerleading Squad in the support seat shouted in unison, and a silver bell-like laughter rang out.
"Ping!"
After Xiaochun, facing Senior Tanba, Sanada actually used Shootball for the first goal again!
"Shortstop!"
"Crack!"
"Crack!"
"Yo~!!! Scary!!!" In this situation, a double kill was achieved, and even a person with a heart as big as Sanada couldn't help but shout out.
"Success! Double kill!"
"Hey!"
"Nice pitch, Senior Sanada!"
"Shirazu! The next round is coming!"
"Tanba! The score difference is still three points! I leave it to you!"
Senior Tanba smiled when he heard the coach say this.
"Didn't you shoot the ball well just now? You bastard!" Jun-san and other third-year seniors also showed smiles. This was the smile facing their partners.
"Yeah! He looks like an ace!"
"Enjoy this Pitcher's Mound after a long absence!" Pudding-senpai talked a lot today.
"I have to yell again! Hahaha!"
Sendou once again struck a bow-drawing pose!
"How dare you say something!" Shirazu couldn't help but complain, which made Senior Tanba amused again.
Senior Tanba has been on Pitcher's Mound for the first time since returning from injury. It has only been a few days since he resumed training. It is natural that he is not good at controlling the ball. The actual training started just the day before yesterday, so no one has too many demands on him.
Speaking of which, when he played Inajitsu in the final, his straight shots only occasionally hit Ball Trajectory, and his ball control has recovered very well.
After all, it only took more than a week of recovery training.
"It's a three-point difference! It's not a score that can't be recovered!
The audience also hopes to see this kind of continuous reversal and counter-reversal!
All in all, get on base as much as possible, it's Raichi's turn to hit the mat!
You also think that as long as it is Raichi's turn, there will always be a way to reverse it, right?
I never thought for one centimeter that I would lose this game! "Raizo Todoroki also knows that the time has come to decide life and death.
Although it is Eighth Inning, if there is no runner in front of Raichi, there is still a possibility of being walked.
If there is a runner, the possibility of a walk is very low with the strong character of the catcher Seidou.
And if there is a runner, a shot from Raichi, whether it is Long Hit or Home Run, may destroy this ace who has been criticized for mental problems and rumors of injury.
As long as he has problems with the ball again, they can score as many points as they want in an inning.
Student baseball is such a cruel sport. No matter how powerful the defensive lineup is when the ace's mentality is broken, it will be useless. No matter how large the defensive range is, it cannot cover the entire stadium.
A strike war is their only chance.
Two teams with broken pitchers and pitchers who were perfect but slightly shaky with the ball were engaged in a hitting battle.
Even if the pharmacist's line is weak, it will be difficult to distinguish between them because of the gap in ace, and they may even have an advantage.
And the only one who can do all this is Raichi, but even for Raichi, it is not easy to defeat a pitcher. The main thing is to have a shocking enough Long Hit.
However, they don't know how Senior Tanba survived in the past few days.
If Sanada was standing at Pitcher's Mound a few days ago, then Sendou's deterrence is definitely far inferior to Raichi and Captain Tetsu.
But for Tanba, the most terrifying of the three hitters is Sendou.
Of course, no one knows what Sanada thinks about Sendou, who has made significant progress today.
"Notice of player change and position adjustment for Seidou High School. Kominato Haruichi is replaced by Shirazu-kun in the eighth club!
Eight sticks! Right field, Shirazu-kun!
Isashiki goes to left field! Above! "
Eighth Inning Pharmacist's first hitter started with seven sticks. Although the last two sticks were difficult to deal with in the seventh, eighth and ninth sticks, facing Senior Tanba who had just been ignited by Fighting Spirit for the first time, the initiative was still on the side of Seidou.
After three balls and seven strikeouts, he hit a very beautiful Ball Trajectory at eight, but was barely caught by senior Kominato and got out.
That's two outs.
At this time, the next batter was Oota Takumi, who was nine at bat. Raichi also walked out of the bench because he was the next batter, preparing to enter the preparation area to wait.
Raichi's figure gradually rose from the bench, until the moment he stepped out, many people's eyes were attracted to Seidou.
Senior Tanba immediately started sweating.
Being tortured all the time does not mean that you are completely immune to fear.
"There's still one out! If you take down the batter here, it won't be Boom's turn!" Feeling Senior Tanba's mood, Miyuki opened his arms to reassure Senior Tanba. As for Senior Tanba, no matter how you interpret it, it won't be a bad word.
For Seidou, who will not walk easily, it is much more advantageous to face Raichi Todoroki in the next inning than to face Hōng when there are runners in this inning.
Todoroki, who was the leadoff batter in the next inning, had to rely on Home Run if he wanted to score directly, but this inning with a runner on base was different.
The scariest thing was Senior Tanba's missed shot. His mentality was no longer a concern. In the summer of his third grade, Senior Tanba was mentally tough enough.
As reminded by Sendou after Home Run, Miyuki already knows the character of Raichi Todoroki, and like Sawamura, he doesn't think too much about the type.
This type gave Miyuki a headache. He had also heard about wildness. Hitters who relied entirely on instinct were the most difficult type to deal with, unless the pitcher had absolute strength to crush them.
Because you don't know what ball he will aim at.
Now is really the moment of truth.
Sorry for posting this chapter a few minutes late. I was late again yesterday! The update on the 18th will be posted at Number 19 so you don't have to worry about being late. However, readers will have to wait a little longer or wait until the next day for some time to come.
The exam time is uncertain, but the document states that the exam will be completed before the 17th of next month. Before then, I may write more every day and try to save four days of papers. The exam should take four days. Since the exam is taken in two places, it is not likely to be consecutive. It should be one wave every two days.
It's definitely impossible to code on the night of preparing for the exam, so for the sake of my perfect attendance, please forgive me. Thank you.
Finally, I'm asking for votes every day. I'm used to more than 30 a day, but please don't go any less!
