Akashi Seiya, his eyes red, ran wildly for his life.
Sendou's speed is such that he could potentially hit a ball that bounces out of bounds into the Inside-the-Park Home Run.
"Oh!!!"
Amidst the cheers of the crowd, Coach Kataoka couldn't help but raise his fist.
"Come back soon!"
Of all the benches on Seidou, Sawamura was the one dancing the most enthusiastically!
" Kominato-kun has returned to base, although his speed has decreased due to the previous fall. Isashiki-kun also roared back to home plate!"
Sendou-kun also reached third base. He seemed a bit tired. Although he was still very fast, he had lost the flair he had at the start of the game.
As the core of the outfield defense, he has been running far too much these past few days, and it has all been intense sprints.
In short, this Long Hit was crucial; Seidou, facing the threat of losing, rallied to tie the score in one fell swoop!!!
"Perhaps the last few innings have been too intense, and we didn't notice that after Sendou-kun got that triple, he completed Complete Game Hit in this game!" Mr. Che said.
"Really? Mr. Che!"
Um... Home Run, first base, second base, it really is!
To achieve such a striking result at Koshien in just one year old is truly astounding!
After the two commentators mentioned this, the others who had been on tenterhooks because of the tense and exciting game realized this, and the stadium erupted in cheers again.
"Tired?" Sawamura's ears suddenly widened, and he looked towards the bench area.
Almost simultaneously, Furuya and he both turned their gazes to the bananas on the bench.
They then acted simultaneously, starting to loot the scattered bananas, while the others were still cheering and didn't pay much attention to what the two were doing.
These two almost got into a fight over a banana...
Isashiki returned, but before he could show anything, the others made him go back to the bench to rest.
"That way they won't be able to easily throw slow fastballs and Slider!"
"Choose your target Ball Trajectory and don't swing blindly with all your might!" Coach Kataoka said to the others.
"Hi!!"
"By the way, Sendou forgot to stop at second base!"
"Could this guy be planning something like a Complete Game Hit?" Kuramochi chuckled.
"That kid wouldn't care about such things. He's probably a bit tired and forgot about it for a moment!"
Whether it's stopping at second base or a Complete Game Hit!
"He should get a good night's sleep when he gets back!" Senior Chris with a gentle smile.
"Hmph! He'll need to work on his physical fitness this winter!" Coach Kataoka laughed.
"At that time, the supervisor might continue to indulge his willfulness!" Chris didn't say this aloud.
The benches on the Seidou Street were filled with cheers, while the Xibang side used this time to discuss countermeasures.
The competition continued as such.
"Fifth batter! First baseman, Yuuki-kun!"
"Men have their own world!"
If I had to use a metaphor, it would be like that star streaking across the sky!
At the Seidou support stand, the female managers, Cheerleading Squad, and band all started singing at the same time.
"Fight your way out! Yuuki!!"
"Fight your way out! Yuuki!!"
"Yuki!! Yuki!!"
"The match has reached its Final Inning! Seidou High School has caught up from the previous score, and now we'll see how far Seidou's counterattack can go."
The game remains undefeated, with the runner on third base being Sendou-kun, and the batter being Yuuki-kun!
Bearing the title of the strongest in the nation, this is the proud duo of Seidou!
Okuto! (No particular meaning)
The catcher from Westbone stood up. Was there really no way to decide the outcome?
The audience erupted in boos!
"Say what you will, only a fool would continue to fight against a fighter of this caliber at this point!" Miyake thought to himself, scoffing at the audience's reaction.
This pitcher has just been under a lot of pressure, and all his choices are for the team's victory.
After sending Captain Tetsu, Nishibang did not send Masuko.
It's clear they've given up on Sendou, and at this point, a bases-loaded strategy is definitely better, as it can result in more outs.
However, it also depends on the opponent. If the bases are full, the batter facing him is Miyuki.
Although Miyuki didn't get a hit today, no one should underestimate this man.
Miyuki is different from Kuramochi; this guy has the ability to fight, but as for why he couldn't unleash it before, Nishibang said he couldn't understand.
Just consider his previous tendency to shoot difficult Ball Trajectory as some kind of quirk.
Overall, Miyuki is still more threatening Masuko.
Between two evils, it is better to choose the lesser one and aim for a double kill by fighting against Masuko.
As for Sendou, let him play by himself!
That runner is not someone they would dare to scheme against in the current situation.
"Call out!"
"Woo-ga!"
"Ping!"
"Aiming for the first goal? Damn it!"
"Yoshia!!"
"Yoshi! Yoshi!" Head Manager Oota placed his somewhat effeminate fists on his chest.
"Another long hit, and the third runner easily made it back to base!!"
Seidou High School adds one run, with no outs on second and third!
The key is that Seidou pulled off a comeback!!!
"Seventh batter! Catcher, Miyuki-kun!"
"Take all the good food, you bastard!"
"Don't let this slip up again! You No Hit bastard!"
As the music started, a chorus of curses erupted from the supporters' section!
bench mat,
"Please use it!"
Sendou looked at the two adorable goofballs holding a huge pile of bananas that seemed to have appeared out of nowhere, Sendou temples started to throb.
They understand that the Sendou are kind-hearted, but they cannot forgive the fact that they treat themselves like monkeys!
Only then did the others realize that, without them noticing, these two guys had taken all their bananas.
They also wanted to give it to themselves...
"You two..." Sendou spat out a few words through gritted teeth.
"Huh?" The two adorable creatures looked up with blank expressions.
That expression was cute, but Sendou was furious!
"You really think I'm..."
"Alright! Hurry up and eat the bananas to conserve your energy, we still have defense for the second half of the game!" Just as Sendou was about to explode, Coach Kataoka poured cold water on him, leaving him feeling completely chilled.
"By the way, when did you steal our bananas?"
"If we're going to give it, we should give it ourselves!" The group on the bench then erupted in protest.
Despite the reversal of Seidou at Seido, the benches remained peaceful.
Under Coach Kataoka's watchful eye, Sendou could only sit obediently to the side and quietly eat his banana.
"Ping!"
"They're here! They're here! They're here!"
" Timely Hit to right field!"
"Are you aiming for the curveball? You bastard!"
"Yosh! Now it's twelve to nine, another three points!"
"If it's a scoring contest, we won't lose!"
"Keep going, Tanba!"
At this point, Westbrook's catcher was completely bewildered, having missed all three types of Changeup and the low fastball to the outside corner.
I have no idea where to throw it.
"Call out!"
"Smack!"
"Bad ball!"
"Ping!"
"Outside the boundary!"
Despite his less-than-stellar batting, Tanba still trains regularly with Captain Tetsu and others, and is often pulled into practicing his swings together.
They won't easily be out when facing a broken pitcher.
"Smack!"
"Bad ball!"
"Smack!"
"Bad ball!"
"Bad ball four!"
However, Tanba didn't get a chance to get a hit before being walked to base.
"Nine bats! Right fielder, Shirazu-kun!"
Kiriyama called for a halt to the fishing operation again, hoping to calm Miyake down.
During previous practice, when he was hit, all three of his Changeup felt out of control, so the only way to help him regain his composure was to take a timeout to buy time.
Forced into a corner, they opted to send Shirazu to a bases- Kuramochi game to decide the victor against Kuramochi.
This situation is so bad that even Coach Nishi-tera Kiriyama n't know what to do. No one has been eliminated yet, and the seating arrangement has been changed again. All they can do now is pray.
Who would believe that not long ago, they looked like they were about to win and advance to the finals?
Inajitsu
"Where are you going, Narumi!" Yoshizawa called out when he noticed that Narumiya Mei had already gotten up.
"Practise!
This guy has improved so much, I can't let myself fall behind!
In the fall, I still want to beat that guy to a pulp, not just get him a guaranteed admission!
And the match is already over!
If we can't win even after all this, then we're not the Seidou that's been fighting us so hard!
Gone! Tree!
Go catch my ball in the Bullpen, you'll Starting Catcher in the fall!
I get really annoyed if I keep missing calls!
"I can't catch the Changeup, but if I try my best, I can still barely catch the other balls!" After saying that, Narumiya Mei walked out without waiting for his new partner's reply, and secretly took a radio with him.
He walked out nonchalantly, thinking no one had seen him, but a group of people were actually frowning in disbelief.
Tadano Itsuki also got up and quickly chased after him.
"He said the match was over, but he still cares about the result!" Harada said helplessly after Narumiya Mei left.
"He's a boy!" Carlos interjected.
"Ping!"
At that moment, Kuramochi hit a terrible pitch, and the person he messed up was none other than Miyuki was on third base.
Miyuki Force Out at home plate by Saibun's quick pass.
With one out and the bases loaded, the game still favors Seidou.
"Ping!"
Onisan then delivered another hit, marking his third consecutive at-bat with a hit.
Thirteen to nine, a four-point difference!
Afterwards, Isashiki-senpai, who was in a bad state, mustered all his strength and unleashed a Ground Ball.
In a surprising turn of events, Isashiki-senpai reached first base, and the runner on third base also returned to the base.
The score was now 14 to 9, bringing the difference back to five points.
It all felt like a dream, a return to the beginning.
However, Seidou's attack was not over yet!
With one out and the bases loaded, the batter...
"Fourth batter! Center forward, Sendou-kun!"
"Ah!!!"
"Oh!!!"
"Fight your way out! Sendou!"
"What a golden opportunity, Sendou-kun!"
"Let's hit a game-winning shot here!"
Sendou truly became a hero of Koshien!
As a first-grader who has only been in school for four months!
Nishibang had no way to avoid it; Yuuki's existence was almost becoming a lock on the duel between his opponent and Sendou.
Normally, the two power hitters should send Sendou and Yuuki to a decisive match, but in recent scrimmages, the situation has been reversed every time.
All I can say is that Sendou is incredibly lucky.
"Boom!"
"Ping!"
"Bump!"
"Live coverage of the field and field scoring boards!!!"
A four- Home Run!
A blow from the fourth batter!!!
That's... a nine-point difference!!!
This Home Run wasn't too surprising, considering the pitcher is no longer at his peak.
This blow completely shattered the pitcher's last line of defense.
"A missed shot? Saibon's summer is over!" Mine Fujio sighed as he watched Miyake being substituted off the court.
The third pitcher who was brought on had basically not played in any official games this summer.
However, he was lucky. After Captain Tetsu was eliminated, neither Masuko nor Miyuki played well, and miraculously, the score was settled at 18 to 9.
However, everyone knew that the outcome of the match was no longer in doubt.
Seidou still has one key pitcher who hasn't taken the mound yet!
This ace doesn't seem like the type to lose nine points in a single game.
Sibong launched a furious comeback in the Ninth Inning, managing to snatch two runs from Tanba, bringing the final score to 18-11.
The loss wasn't so bad.
However, the explosive power of Seidou Batting Lineup in the final game surprised everyone.
I knew their lineup was top-notch, but I didn't expect it to be this extravagant.
"Match over! 18 to 11!"
Seidou High School has advanced to the finals after 22 years!!!
This is arguably the closest Seidou Baseball Club has ever come to victory since its inception!
After all, it's no secret that Seidou's overall strength is Kyoma or Hakuryu.
The opponent in the finals will most likely be the Kyoma, and Seidou is quite good at countering the latter.
The Kyoma batting lineup is weak, making it difficult to score runs from Seidou Pitching Lineup. While the Kyoma pitchers are strong, it's difficult for them to truly suppress Seidou Batting Lineup.
It could be argued that Seidou's chances of losing are higher if their opponent in the final is Hakuryu.
"Present!"
Thank you for your guidance!
With a loud shout from the referee, the First Match of the day finally came to an end.
The two reserve candidates fought tooth and nail, and in the end, Seido, who were used to relaying, had the last Seidou.
Westbrook lost the game due to a pitching collapse.
The Second Match match was scheduled for the afternoon, and the audience began to eat lunch.
They had a great time today; the First Match was definitely worth the trip, with one exciting moment after another.
Seidou's arrangement was to leave a few people to scout ahead, while the rest went back to the hotel to rest.
Before that, the winning team will be interviewed.
As the main character today, Sendou has no way to avoid it.
So Coach Kataoka, Sendou, Captain Tetsu, and Isashiki were interviewed.
Chris and a few others stayed behind to investigate, while the rest waited for the interview to end before heading back together.
After the match, Sendou's body felt a little weak, but fortunately, his stamina wasn't great and his recovery ability was amazing, so he was fine.
Furuya and Sawamura, the two Little Cutie, volunteered to help pack the luggage.
In the end, it was Sawamura, who didn't play in the match, who helped carry the luggage.
Requesting votes...
By the way, I can also recruit the other three pitchers from the Kyoma. Please provide their full names and Changeup types. I will consider adding them if appropriate.
