The score went from being two points behind at 8-6 at the beginning, to eight points behind 14-6 in an instant.
During this period, Nagumo had not called for a timeout. Was this plan for the sixth company an accident?
In addition to Sendou and Captain Tetsu hitting the ball solidly, Masuko caught a straight ball that he was good at when the opponent was being hit continuously.
Miyuki, on the other hand, aimed for a curveball that was difficult to hit.
Coach Matsumoto called a timeout, giving Hirobi Tate a breather from the continuous attacks.
The opponent, who originally thought he could suppress Furuya, tried to find some form with a straight ball from an outside angle, but was given a fatal blow by Natural Airhead.
It's not that Hirobi Tate's mentality exploded, but that Home Run arrived at Furuya before he really understood what was going on.
At this time, Hirobi Tate looked at the scoreboard blankly.
He was not the only one, this sudden burst of Seidou Batting Lineup made the entire audience dumbfounded.
Relying on four or five sticks to create a gap in the opponent's solid defense, just this opportunity was wildly expanded by Seidou Batting Lineup.
It's still two outs with a runner on second base.
At this time, Coach Matsumoto called the second defensive timeout of the game, and personally walked up to Pitcher's Mound, summoning everyone including the outfield.
"Don't relax! The other person's eyes are not dead yet!!
Baseball is such a game!
No matter what the situation may happen. "Sendou patted Miyuki on the shoulder and said.
"Hoar? You actually speak in such a tone.
Don't you always consider yourself a layman? "
"Then? For a layman like me..."
"How could you be suspicious?" Miyuki rushed to answer before Sendou, who deliberately slowed down his speech, finished speaking.
"Bang!" Sendou looked down with disdain.
On the other side, Coach Matsumoto was already in front of him, but Hirobi Tate was still unaware of it.
Even if it is not due to state or mentality problems, it is a fact that we are eight points ahead.
Moreover, they only had one opportunity to attack, and Hirobi Tate already felt a trace of despair in his heart.
Losing is not terrible, but the feeling of feeling that you will lose before the game is over is truly terrible.
This will make the game extremely long.
"Kan!" Coach Matsumoto patted Hirobi Tate on the shoulder, just like Sendou patted Miyuki.
Hirobi Tate came back to his senses when he felt someone touching him.
"Supervise... supervise!" Hirobi Tate choked up.
"This is the top level in the country... No, this line can be said to be the strongest in the country.
No matter how small the opportunity is, he will seize it, expand his advantage and constantly put pressure on his opponent. "The more Coach Matsumoto talked, the more uncomfortable Hirobi Tate felt.
"But..., their pitching staff has a huge problem, and they don't have a pitcher who can hand over critical moments to one person.
Furuya or Kawakami after that, it's all like this, especially Kawakami after that, his character can't fight a tough battle.
As long as we can beat Furuya in the next game, it is possible to recover no matter how many points we are behind.
And Furuya has reached the limit for our wiring.
Don't give up hope until the end. If you give up, the game will end early.
As long as baseball doesn't give up, there is a possibility of reversal!
Got it? "Coach Matsumoto said in perhaps the gentlest voice the players have ever seen.
After all, to the Kiryu players, Coach Matsumoto is simply the devil, the most gentle when out competing.
After hearing Coach Matsumoto's words, all the players nodded heavily.
Coach Matsumoto Why didn't you say that you have always been optimistic about Sawamura?
Coach Matsumoto is bullish, but Sawamura has a fatal flaw: now it only knows Inside Corner Ball, and it often throws in the center.
Coupled with Kiryu's ability to defeat him, even in the original work, there was a preliminary Four-Quadrant Control in autumn, and with the Changeup Carter Ball's Sawamura, it made people sweat when faced with the hole.
Coach Matsumoto concluded that Coach Kataoka would not send him to replace Furuya.
Coach Matsumoto doesn't know, Coach Kataoka has basically no plans to let Sawamura continue to board this summer.
The Kiryu players surrounding the commander are already full of Killing Intent and Fighting Spirit. If we don't fight now, when will we fight?
Especially the third graders, this is the Last Summer, and their performance in this last summer game is also related to their future.
From a prestigious family like Kiryu and Seidou, the last remaining players are basically aiming for a career. Even if there are some who are destined not to be selected, they still want to enter university through sports recommendation and make a last ditch effort for a career.
And just as Coach Matsumoto analyzed, as long as Seidou's offensive is stopped here, then they still have a chance to win.
With the end of Coach Matsumoto, the game started again.
"One bat! Shortstop, Kuramochi-kun!"
"Train! Train! Run with all your might!...
Train! Train! Don't stop...
Train! Train! Run with all your might! ...
Train! Train! Don't stop...
Fight it out! Kuramochi!
Kuramochi! Kuramochi! "
The morale of Seidou was high, and the singing was particularly impressive.
At this time, Coach Matsumoto, who returned to the bench, waved his hand, and all four infielders came forward, and even the outfielders came forward.
With such an extremely advanced lineup, I am afraid that only Nine-Man Infield from Sendou back then was crazier than this.
It's clear that regardless of Shirazu on second base, today we are going to catch Kuramochi, the last out number.
They want to forcefully correct the ace's condition.
"This... I don't think Senior Kuramochi can play the formation of Long Hit at all!
It's really strong!
That old man! "Sendou looked at Kiryu's formation and sighed.
"They must end our attack here!
Absolute trust in the trump card!
It's time to decide the outcome here! "Miyuki interfaced.
"So they are the quasi-winners last summer!" Sendou ate a whole banana in one go.
"Are your hands numb anymore?" Miyuki asked.
"Ah! It's completely fine!
Eat it to regain energy.
Ninth Inning It will be a hard battle, let's end this game here! "Sendou said and handed Miyuki a banana.
Miyuki took it over politely.
"Damn it!!!" Kuramochi in the venue was really pissed off when he saw the arrangement of people in front of him.
Unless you play Long Hit in such a forward position, you will have no choice but to be eliminated.
What Infield Hit, what Safety Bunt, in this extreme defensive lineup, are all nonsense.
"Shirazu That guy! Did he hit a first base and a double each today?
I can't be the only one left here!
Bastard! "Kuramochi stared at Pitcher's Mound's Hirobi Tate with unusual kindness.
Hirobi Tate responded to him with a smile again, Kuramochi was stunned for a second...
Putting on this smiling face again at this time is simply the worst situation for Kuramochi.
But when it's my turn, I get excited.
"My only chance is probably the first goal!
After all, this pitcher had been struck out so many times just now, and now he should have no idea about his pitching status. "Kuramochi looked at that smiling face and had already made a decision in his heart.
Even if Kuramochi knew that his decision was not a wise choice, after all, several players in front of him were already aiming for the first goal, and it was impossible for the opponent not to be wary.
In fact, Nagumo was indeed extremely wary of Kuramochi's shot at the first goal.
But he still decided to show his strength and build momentum for the next attack.
"Straight ball inside angle! No need for a strike, Seidou's hitter is likely to aim for the first ball and swing his arm more thoroughly!
Kan! "
"Poof!"
"First goal!!!"
"Phew!"
"First goal!"
"Ping!"
"Out of bounds!"
"It's so heavy! It's heavier than the last time I hit the mat." Kuramochi looked at the trembling bat in his hand in disbelief.
"Phew!"
"Crack!"
"Good shot!"
The second ball is Outside Corner Ball, which completely goes into Strike Zone, but Kuramochi cannot take the shot because of the Inside Corner Ball just now.
"Crack!"
"Good shot!"
"Slider!"
"The winning shot was thrown here!"
"Now is not the time to worry about the number of goals."
"Damn it! Has it become like this again?" Kuramochi felt powerless again.
"Poof!"
"Phew!"
"Ping!"
"Yo west! The batter took action against Hanging Ball!"
"Crack!"
"Out!"
"Damn it!" Kuramochi, who hit Infield Fly and was killed, reluctantly hit the ground with his bat.
"Did we finally stop it? But we lost six points in one go in this inning, eight points difference.
It's not easy to chase an attack with only one round! "
"That's right! I finally saw the opportunity for that first-year pitcher to be attacked!
As a result, there was such a big difference, and the game was over as long as three outs! "
Although Kiryu suppressed Seidou's lane attack, he successfully dragged Final Inning into the game.
However, the audience is generally not optimistic that Kiryu can reverse the situation. Although the reversal in this situation is very exciting, before seeing the opportunity for reversal, most people still prefer the one with the big score to win.
Many of the girls in Kiryu's music club started crying.
"Whatever you think, we will definitely reverse it!"
This is the common sentiment of all the Kiryu players who walked off the field.
Their attention was so focused that they didn't care what anyone said.
"Is it enough to watch one round? Now except for Low Ball, you can attack freely.
Show all your three years in this game! "Coach Matsumoto said to his players.
This is already the final battle!
"Hi!!!"
"You have proven that your baseball can work across the country. First, win the first game of the quarterfinals!
Don't let tomorrow's opponents wait too long. "When it comes to chicken soup, Seidou has never had anyone take it.
"Oh!!!"
"Yeah!!!"
The Seidou players looked at each other and smiled, then stood up and shouted.
"Let's go!" Captain Tetsu said.
"Oh!!!"
"Koshien Quarter-Semifinals has finally arrived Final Inning!
Now running to the court to defend is Seidou High School, who has entered Koshien after six years, with the resurrection of a famous family and the dream of dominating the country!
And their opponents, last year's nearly winning school Koshien, were also forced to the point where they were running out of ammunition and food.
They must fight back in this final attack and fight with their last stand!
Otherwise, when the score is not tied at the end of this inning, the game will end here!
spread! Which team finally became Koshien Semifinals? "In the cheers of the audience, the players finally walked out of the bench and began the final fight. The commentator also took this opportunity to make a final summary of the game.
The first half of Ninth Inning, the real and final Death Struggle, is about to begin.
"Ninth Inning first half, Kiryu High School's attack,
Eight sticks! Left fielder, Mr. Murata! "
After a short Pitching Practice, the Final Inning game officially began.
"It's all here!
Furuya, come here with all your strength! "
"The pitcher raised his arms and watched the first pitch!!"
"Poof!"
"Phew!"
"Boom!!!"
"Bad ball!"
"The first goal Fast Forkball, unfortunately it missed a little, bad goal!"
"Yo west! You can see it very clearly! Murata!"
"That's it! The pitcher couldn't hit Strike Zone!"
"Have we been attacking for too long?
No, this guy has no control over the ball! "Miyuki could only smile helplessly at this time.
These two first-year students are still in the rough this year. There is no way around it.
"However, Fast Forkball at this level cannot be used against this team!
Even if you are playing in the lower position, if you are hit, you will fly very far!
This is the scary thing about this team! "Miyuki glanced at the bench and saw that Coach Kataoka had no intention of substituting. He still wanted to see Furuya's current status.
It should be said that Coach Kataoka doesn't know whether it is right to let Kawakami play at this time. The players on Kiryu's side are going to eat people.
Moreover, Kawakami's expression was clearly filled with fear, and he was thinking about something that he shouldn't be thinking.
As Coach Matsumoto said, the power of Seidou is just a castle in the air. It is naturally extremely powerful for others. The pitching lineup is deep and the line is like cheating.
Only Coach Matsumoto, who is extremely familiar with this Seidou, can discover how fragile these mirage-like powers are.
Maybe he wasn't the only one to notice.
"Second goal! Voted!"
"Piu!"
"Ping!"
"Out of bounds!"
"Waiting late again?
But definitely next time! "Murata glanced at the bat in his hand and stood still again.
"Piu!"
"Boom!"
"Bad ball!"
This time it was a high straight ball that Furuya is best at, but the batter still didn't fall for it.
At this time, you need not only decisiveness, but also enough patience and courage.
The courage to take responsibility.
"In short, use your speed and ball power to suppress him with all your strength! "Miyuki Looking at this, we can only suppress it with all our strength.
"Piu!"
"Ping!"
"Out of bounds!"
This ball was hit as a foul ball in the direction of third base. It was obvious that he still failed to find the crosshair and control the direction well.
"Phew!"
"Quick...Fast Forkball! "When Murata had already taken the shot, it was discovered that the ball was Changeup.
Furuya's ball control is really unstable, but after being chased, he can still shoot again, and this time the height is just right.
"Ping!"
"Out of bounds!"
But Final Inning's hitter was incredibly tenacious, and Murata forced the ball out of bounds.
Asking for votes...
