"In the top of the fifth inning, Seidou High School's attack..."
"One hit, shortstop, Kuramochi-kun!"
"We've finally reached the top batting lineup for Seidou High School's third round!"
What kind of blow will they give us?
As soon as Kuramochi entered the field, Saibang's infielders started moving forward. Kuramochi, whose batting average is unreliable, is just that frustrating.
"Call out!"
"An easy ball to hit!"
"Call out!"
Suddenly turned.
"Smack!"
"Nice shot!"
"First ball, Vertical Slider!"
"Smack!"
"Nice shot!"
"Puff!"
"Call out!"
"Ping!"
" Slow Curveball, the batter fell for it!"
"Smack!"
"Out!"
"Damn it!" Kuramochi said uneasily as he took off his helmet with one hand.
Don't worry about it!
It's perfectly normal that Senior Kuramochi couldn't hit the Changeup pitcher!
" Sawamura comforted me," he said.
At least Sawamura himself felt comforted, and then Kuramochi walked over with a kind expression.
"Second baseman, Kominato Ryosuke-kun!"
" Ryosuke!"
"Come on!"
"Puff!"
"Call out!"
"Smack!"
"First ball Slow Curveball! The batter misses!"
"Call out!"
"Ping!"
"Outside the boundary!"
"Straight ball inside corner!"
"Call out!"
"Smack!"
"Nice shot!"
"The attacker is out!"
" Vertical Slider! The batter strikes out!"
"There are more Changeup now! Looks like they're not going to keep them!" Senior Chris remarked.
"Sibon is really on fire! That last point has really boosted their morale!" the commentator remarked.
"That's true! This point is very important!"
"It would be better if Seidou just forgot that they were leading by three points!" Mr. Che interjected.
"Third batter! Left fielder, Isashiki-kun!"
" Jun-san!!"
" Isashiki-senpai!"
"Roar!"
"I'll create the opening!" Isashiki glared fiercely at Hoshinomiya on the Pitcher's Mound's mound.
"Bring it on!"
"Huh?" The catcher stood up just as Isashiki finished yelling.
" Intentional Walk?" the commentator exclaimed in disbelief.
"To block Sendou-kun's movement!"
That speed is really troublesome when it comes to stacking!
That way I can confidently face him and decide the winner.
Moreover, it's already two outs. Even if we get rid of Isashiki, Sendou-kun will become the first batter in the next round, which will only make things more complicated!
That's about it!
"As far as I know, the first person to use this tactic was Coach Kunimoto of Inajitsu during the Seidou Regional Preliminaries finals," said the guest commentator next to him.
"I see!" The commentator finally realized.
Upon closer reflection, realizing that Sendou was on the rampage was truly terrifying.
If there are no runners ahead, then you can't even allow a single. It's not that it's impossible, but the probability is too dangerous.
"The schedule is too tight! If I had understood Matsumoto-san's intentions earlier, I might not have lost so many points."
That being said, he really is an awe-inspiring player!
It will be difficult to handle next year or the year after!
"It doesn't matter what happens next year or the year after!" Coach Nishi-tera muttered to himself on the bench.
"Bad ball!"
" Four Balls!"
By this time, Xibang had already secured his place in the university through the guaranteed admission program.
"Roar!!!"
"Oh!!!"
"Fourth batter! Center forward, Sendou-kun!"
"This cry!!!"
This man's name has probably already resounded throughout all of Japan!
The Cleanup Hitter in his first year of high school, undoubtedly the strongest of his generation!
He might even be qualified to be called the Number One High Schooler in Japan right now!
This outcry just tells you how many fans he has!!!
I don't know if Sendou-kun is the number one contestant in the country.
But after this summer ends and he retires from third grade, he will likely be the undisputed number one hitter! Mr. Che chimed in.
Many media outlets have already called him Japan's Number One!
When it comes to hitting, defense, and base running, there's almost no controversy left.
The Mr. Che in a tone that sounded both boastful and like he was explaining something scientific.
"Defense! In terms of Sendou-kun's speed, defensive range, direct transmission speed, and accuracy, he is undoubtedly number one!"
The same applies to running the bases!
If we're talking about taking a hit, there's also Yuuki-kun from my team, and Sano-kun from our opponent!
The order of the three might be determined in this match.
"The narrator explained in detail."
"You... you haven't become a member of his fan club, have you?" Mr. Che said slowly.
"I guess so!"
"By the way, I'm a big fan of his!" Mr. Che suddenly said after seeing his partner's reply.
"Why???"
"Indeed! But Sano-kun didn't do much today!"
Judging from actual performance, the Japan's Number One will probably emerge from among the teammates of Seidou!
The Japan's Number One are on the same team, that's really exciting! ( Harada, who was eliminated early, cried in the bathroom.)
"But, Kuruma-san!"
Sano-kun won't give up on the competition so easily!
"Only two meals!" The commentator corrected Mr. Che's exaggerated praise.
No, this has become Qingdao's hype, completely praising Seidou as if the battle is over and Xibang has been eliminated.
"Ahem! My apologies!" Mr. Che realized his slip of the tongue and apologized.
"Let's go for another big one!"
"Genius hitter!"
"Lord Demon King! (???)"
Sendou's fanbase has exploded, especially after today's hits of a Home Run and an Infield Hit single.
Hit rate ten!
" The Japan's Number One?"
It's truly astonishing that a first-grader has received such recognition after only a few months of schooling!
"But we're not going to give up here!" Hoshinomiya looked at Sendou and roared inwardly as he threw his first pitch of the day.
"Call out!"
"Ping!"
The next second, his face turned pale!
"Whoosh!" (Sound of wind)
"Smack!"
It went into the glove of a spectator in the left field stand.
"Oh!!!"
"Roar!!!"
But it has already excited the audience.
"Out of bounds!!!"
"Go!!!... It only veered a tiny bit to the left!!!" the commentator exclaimed excitedly.
"That was close!!!"
"How terrifying!"
"This hitman!!" Xibang's voice trembled as he supported him.
"What a pity!"
"Only a few meters away, right?"
"That was almost our second home run of the day!"
"If this shot goes in, the batter will basically be in first place, right?"
"Even if you don't shoot, you still get a lot of points!"
This attack also sparked heated discussions among the audience.
"We'll have to fight this monster for three years straight!"
I feel a little sorry for the first-year students of his generation!
"That's true!"
"Not necessarily! If an opponent is absolutely unbeatable and you have no competitive spirit, being his personal fan is also a very happy thing!"
"After all, an individual's strength is still just that of an individual, while a team is a team!" one insightful viewer remarked.
The people around them nodded in agreement.
"Is everything alright?" Kiriyama called for a pause in the fishing operation and walked over to ask.
"No problem!
However, this person is really scary!
That Slow Curveball from the inside corner went so far!
Perhaps Sano really isn't as good as him!
" His Long Hit ability is just as good, but his accuracy is lacking..." Hoshinomiya whispered to his partner.
After all, these words could affect morale.
"Whether he's a monster or the best in the country, there's no one in the world with a 100% hit rate!"
"Take care of him!" Kiriyama encouraged, placing his gloves on Hoshinomiya's chest.
"Okay! Take care of him!"
"The pitching and catching timeout for Westbone has ended, and the game has resumed!"
What kind of pitching will the Nishibang pitcher and catcher show us? The commentator saw Kiriyama squatting on home plate again and knew that the duel would continue.
Head Manager Oota clutched his heart again; that attack had been so sudden, he hadn't recovered yet.
Several people in Xibang were also sweating profusely and clutching their hearts.
"Puff!"
Amidst this complex atmosphere, Hoshinomiya threw the second ball.
"Call out!"
"Fastball!" This shot caught Sendou. He thought his opponent would throw another Changeup to regain momentum, but instead, it was a direct decision-making game.
"Ping!"
"Huh?"
"Smack!"
"Out of the game!!"
"Uh!" Sendou was speechless.
" Sendou-kun put the ball straight into the center-back's glove!!!" The commentator was also a little surprised; the game ended so abruptly.
"The aura of a third-grader is no joke!" Sendou said with a smile, seemingly unfazed.
"You bastard, those two swings were almost terrifying!"
If that shot had been a little off target, there really wouldn't have been any way to stop you!
"But don't think you've already won!" Kiriyama stood up after hearing Sendou's praise and said a few words to Sendou as well.
"I never thought of it that way!"
"That was a great match!" Sendou said as he walked down from the Batter's Box.
The changeover time has begun again.
Don't worry about it! It's just bad luck!
"Uh!" Kuramochi wanted to comfort Sendou, but seeing the guy's smiling face, he felt awkward instead.
"What on earth is this guy's heart made of?!" Kuramochi thought to himself.
Even Sawamura isn't truly fearless; he can waver sometimes. But the guy in front of me always seems the same.
Aside from injuries, he almost always maintains such a stable mindset.
"What a pity! We almost hit two home Home Run today!" Sawamura mocked.
"Baka! Home Run are all about luck!" Sendou said, pressing one hand down on Sawamura's head.
Sendou's large hand almost covered Sawamura's entire face.
"Uh! I don't find it convincing coming from you!" Miyuki said, wiping his mouth.
"Because I've always been very lucky!" Sendou said with a squinty smile.
"And what about the feast?"
"This is just accumulating luck, which will explode in the future!" Sendou said in a serious tone, spouting nonsense.
Miyuki was speechless...
I thought to myself, this guy is so shameless, insisting on attributing it to luck, and he even has a whole bunch of fallacies to back it up.
It's as if Lady Luck is someone he keeps.
While the two were bickering, their hands were also busy; Sendou took off his protective gear and changed his hat.
With the help of a large group of people, Miyuki put on the protective gear.
Anyway, Sendou felt hot just looking at this thing, and it was already close to noon, with the outside temperature already very high.
It felt like being roasted by a fire.
"Let's go!!!" Captain Tetsu shouted.
"Oh!!!"
"Notification of replacement of Seidou High School players!"
"Finally being substituted? The next pitcher!" Saibang was stunned when he heard the announcement, realizing that the pitcher was going to be substituted.
"Eighth batter Furuya-kun is replaced, Kawakami-kun is replaced!"
Eight sticks! Pitcher, Kawakami-kun! "
After Seidou finished their warm-up with ball tossing and catching, the Bottom of the Fifth Inning officially began.
" In the Bottom of the Fifth Inning, Seibou High School's attack..."
Six sticks! Left fielder, Akashi-kun! "
"What a pity!"
"This guy was rated even higher than Naruto last year!" Miyuki couldn't help but sigh every time he saw Akashi.
Having such a deep understanding of Narumiya Mei, Miyuki would naturally feel sorry for the pitcher who overshadowed Narumiya Mei's reputation last year.
However, last year's fame is already a thing of the past.
The title of "Super First-Year Student" already belongs to the Sendou.
Compared to the Sendou, all first-year students are mortals.
Although last year, as a freshman starter, he pitched all three rounds and hit two Home Run.
However, hitting Home Run run as a bottom batter and hitting Home Run as a fourth batter are completely different concepts.
The gap between them was as vast as the difference between heaven and earth.
However, this does not mean that Akashi Seiya, as a hitter, is not someone to be wary of.
If this person hadn't just recovered from an injury and wasn't still in the process of rehabilitation, he would definitely have become the center of the attack.
For a second-year student, this is already an amazing achievement.
Be careful when you bet!
You should be familiar with this man's name, right? Ah Xian!
"Call out!"
"Smack!"
"Nice shot!"
"It was like it flew in from behind!"
"As expected of a side-thrower!" Akashi Seiya, the future ace of the Saibang, thought to himself.
"Shoot the second ball here!"
Swing your arm all the way through!
"Puff!"
"Call out!"
"Ping!"
"Outside the boundary!"
"The second ball is the Slider in the outside corner! Out of bounds!"
"Is it because you just came on? Your ball control isn't stable yet!"
Let's take the third shot, another outside corner, to regroup!
"Puff!"
"Call out!"
"Ping!"
"Outside the boundary!"
"The batter chased after the bad ball! But it's still out of bounds!"
"As expected of a pitcher, his feel for the ball is truly amazing!"
"He can even hit that ball accurately!" Miyuki was beginning to understand how this guy had earned his reputation.
Even though he's still in the adjustment period, his striking ability is clearly superior to Narumiya Mei's.
You know, the referee was particularly fond of the outside corners today.
A right-side pitcher hitting a right-side batter is also a very advantageous matchup.
"Puff!"
"Call out!"
"Ping!"
"Outside the boundary!"
"Smack!"
"Bad ball!"
"Ping!"
"Outside the boundary!"
Despite it being their first match, Akashi Seiya completely entangled Kawakami.
The ball was clearly visible. Due to the referee's mistake, the player on the outside corner took the initiative and put his fate in his own hands.
However, they are willing to let bad balls in the inside corner go.
The two sides have been locked in a stalemate for twelve balls, and the score remains two bad and two good.
"Here it is! After a series of Inside Corner Ball, a Slider that goes off-target from Strike Zone!"
The referees were very strict today; given the change in the ball's Ball Trajectory, Akashi would definitely have taken the shot.
"Puff!"
"Call out!"
"Here again!... Hmm?"
"Smack!"
"Bad ball!"
"That was close! If I had shot, I would have been done for!" Akashi thought with relief as he watched Miyuki, whose glove had already moved to the left batting area to catch the ball.
