It Turned into an Exhibition Game

"Yoshia!!!" Sawamura shouted with all his might from the Pitcher's Mound.

Senior Chris looked at the figure with affection, and finally smiled with satisfaction.

"Chris... strikes out!"

"Attacking aggressively towards the inside corner, then finishing with Outside Corner Ball?"

That last shot was really good!

"Finally, Sawamura can hit other Ball Trajectory instead of just the inside corner!"

Autumn is going to be interesting!

"Puff!"

"Call out!"

"Ping!"

"Out!"

"Puff!"

"Relax!

Relax your body!

All the nerves in my body are concentrated at my fingertips!!!

"Call out!"

"Smack!"

"Nice shot!"

"The hitter is out! Change of game!!"

"That was a really good Outside Corner Ball, a well-executed arm swing against the left-handed hitter!" Coach Ochiai thought to himself, stroking his beard.

"Although not all the balls were thrown to the designated spots."

However, with the ball centered on the outside corner and supplemented by the Inside Corner Ball, the attacker can control the rhythm of the game!

"Especially the Outside Corner Ball after the Inside Corner Ball, the batter basically misses the ball!" Miyuki, watching Sawamura run towards the bench.

"Sawamura No Hit in this inning!!!" Kanemaru shouted excitedly.

"That ball was so far! For a moment it seemed like the bat wasn't long enough!" Senior Saitou.

"This is the first time I've seen a ball like this. The hitter must find it difficult to make a shot!"

Add that Inside Corner Ball!

Has Sawamura grown so much already?

"Ah!

Just a few months ago, I was a complete novice who knew absolutely nothing!

The third graders then began to discuss this.

"Do you understand? The validity of Outside Corner Ball!"

The combination of inside and outside angles makes your pitch more elastic.

It's only natural that the batter would miss that Outside Corner Ball kick!

"Just one ball can give you a qualitative leap!" Senior Chris thought with satisfaction.

Sawamura's pitching performance also earned applause from Nishino and the other two girls who were not experts.

These two are very curious about Sawamura, and they often discuss various manga, so they have a good relationship.

It's Friday today, but I didn't go straight home. I heard about today's events and came to watch the game.

After that, Sawamura and Senior Tanba engaged in a fierce pitching battle.

Players occasionally reached base, but they couldn't score for a long time.

When it was the Center Batting Lineup again, Sawamura was substituted out.

Why?!

I've only pitched three games!

"That kid Furuya has already pitched four innings!" Sawamura was acting like this, after all, the coach was Miyuki, and this guy had become a bit bolder.

However, he didn't know that these words, for Kawakami who could only pitch two innings, were somewhat...

Next, the score finally started to loosen up. Kawakami lost a point, and Tanba also lost two points in the final round due to the cooperation between the first and second year students.

The Ninth Inning ended in a 4-4 tie!

"Nice game!"

"Great match!"

At the end of the Ninth Inning game, the spectators on the sidelines applauded to thank the players for their excellent performance.

Even though it wasn't the weekend, thanks to the Sendou Fan Club, there were still quite a few people.

"The match ended in a draw!"

"To be honest, I never expected this result. The first and second year teams are more capable than I thought!"

"As expected, Sendou's ability to restrain his opponents has become much stronger since he returned!"

"It's not over yet!"

But just as everyone instinctively ran to the field to line up, Coach Kataoka stopped them.

Seeing the players looking at him with confusion, Coach Kataoka continued.

"The game isn't over yet!"

The outcome is still undecided, and there are still quite a few players who haven't had a chance to compete, whether they are first or second graders or third graders!

I didn't plan to schedule any practice today.

Although there are Practice Match tomorrow and the day after, we still need to train!

So, since we've come this far, let's fight to our hearts' content!

Consider it a relaxation before the Autumn Tournament or the national sports competition!

Both sides should try to change their players as much as possible!

"Is everything alright?"

"Hi!!!" The players responded loudly upon seeing Coach Kataoka's smile.

"Does the extension mean that Kawakami- senpai can continue to pitch?" Sawamura suddenly asked.

"Ah! Of course!" Miyuki a wicked grin.

"Click!" Sawamura was taken aback and suddenly felt envious of Kawakami- senpai.

"How cunning!" Furuya whispered with a cute look in his eyes.

"Let the substitute player go and defend like this!"

"We're replacing all the players in the infield and outfield!" Captain Tetsu shouted with a laugh.

Since the supervisors have said so, the entertainment bureau should go all out.

"Yoshi!"

"Don't worry, Tetsu!"

"We've also replaced the fighter jets for Tanba!"

"There's no other way! I'll just have to vote!" Isashiki-senpai first deliberately emphasized that Tanba was no longer able to play, but in the end, he still embarrassedly revealed his ambition.

His face turned red, showing how embarrassed he was to say those words. Isashiki-senpai was very self-aware.

The pitcher has been a long-standing obsession for Isashiki-senpai!

It just so happens that there's only one Tanba in the third grade...

"Huh?!!" Several people gasped in surprise upon hearing Isashiki's voice.

These veterans knew very well how amazing this old man's ball control was back then.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have been advised to move to the outfield; Seidou usually doesn't advise players to change positions.

Unless you want to reuse him, but you can't let him be reused in his original position.

"Everyone!!

"Make sure you warm up properly!" Onii-san raised his hand and said with a gentle smile.

"Are you so sure my ball will be hit?!" Isashiki-senpai, dissatisfied.

"No! You can't make the Strike Zone! Temporary suspension!!"

"Ugh!" Isashiki-senpai was deeply shocked.

"Isn't this even worse?!"

"With Chris catching the ball, I'm full of energy!!!" Isashiki-senpai shouted.

"It's good to be motivated, but don't throw Four Balls!" Senior Chris said gently, but there was a hint of... pampering in his voice?

"Absolutely not!" Isashiki laughed.

Where do you get your confidence from?!

"Just like that idiot!" A group of third-year students collectively complained in their minds, glancing at Sawamura without realizing it.

But no matter how you look at it, the two of them seem a bit...

Thankfully, there aren't any yaoi fans here, otherwise the chemistry between them would be unmistakable.

"Don't push yourself too hard!" Captain Tetsu said to Senior Chris with a smile.

"Special pitchers are guys like that!" Oni-san added insult to injury.

These two people seem to be targeting Senior Chris, but they're actually still in Isashiki-senpai's heart.

"Ah! I'll be careful!" Senior Chris said with an amused expression.

"Kaneda and Kawashima should also warm up and get ready to play!"

The coach told everyone to have fun playing!

"Miyuki said to the two remaining pitchers from the first and second years.

"Hi!"

"We will definitely settle things with you!"

You'd better be prepared!

"Damn it!!!" Even the way Isashiki-senpai shouted on the Pitcher's Mound's mound was exactly the same as Sawamura's.

But what he said...

After all, he's Evil Oni Senpai; don't take him too seriously.

"Yoshi!!" The third graders didn't tease him this time, since they had all changed players and were excited about being able to compete.

Who was the first to strike?

"Step forward, you bastard!!"

"Haha! Can Jun-san Strike Zone?" Kuramochi said with a laugh.

The second-year students next to them were terrified when they saw Kuramochi joking with Isashiki-senpai.

"I'll throw myself in with sheer force!!"

These words left the audience on the sidelines stunned.

"Hahaha!"

"Huh? Is Isashiki going to throw?" Two seconds later, one of the observers realized what was happening and asked the person next to him.

He wondered if he was hallucinating or experiencing auditory hallucinations.

"Really?!" The OB next to him just realized what was happening.

"Calm down, Isashiki! Don't get provoked!"

"I didn't! You idiot!"

"The pitcher's getting impatient! Watch out for Hit-by-Pitch!" Sawamura chimed in.

"What did you say? You bastard!!!" Isashiki-senpai in anger.

"And you, Sendou! Shut up!!!" After cursing Sawamura, Isashiki-senpai pointed at Sendou.

"But I haven't said anything yet!"

So shut up!

Asshole!!

You rascal, I know what you're going to say even with my eyes closed!

Watch out, tomorrow I won't let you behind me, I'll let you hit me nine times!!!

"Hahaha!"

"Wait a minute!!"

Sendou!

"What's going on?!" Sawamura reacted extremely quickly this time.

"Oh!

Sendou will be joining our team for tomorrow's Practice Match!

Prepare yourself to get a beating!

And it was actually Sendou himself who suggested it!

"Could it be that he didn't tell you guys?" Isashiki-senpai said with a mischievous grin.

It's blatant sowing discord.

"What?!!!

Sendou!!

"You bastard, you're actually going to be a traitor?" Sawamura immediately fell for it.

"Fool!

How can it be called betrayal when they're all teammates?

You really want Senior Chris to receive the ball, don't you?

"Ah! Indeed!" However, Sawamura was completely manipulated by Sendou's words.

"Hmm! I might as well join the seniors' team!" Sawamura said seriously.

"Hey!!" Miyuki muttered under his breath, speechless.

This "betrayal" is even happening in a group...

"Oh!!

"That way I can pitch a few more games!" Furuya, that Natural Airhead, is always causing trouble, but he's a bit slow to react, only realizing it now with a look of sudden realization.

It's completely unclear who instigated whom!

The scene was extremely joyful.

"We need to extend the deadline!"

"The contestants are all very happy!" Rei-chan said with a smile in the observation room.

After a serious competition, this kind of relaxed entertainment naturally eases the tension.

"Um!

"It's been a long time since we've had such a relaxed atmosphere since the First Team's summer training camp!" Head Manager Oota was also very happy.

"It's about to start!"

"Watch my Rocket Ball!!!" Isashiki-senpai was very excited as he began practicing his throws.

"Puff!"

"Ah!!"

"Go to hell! You bastard!"

"Smack!"

"Oh!!!

"They actually Strike Zone!" Sawamura exclaimed with an exaggerated expression, but the key point was that he didn't mean it with a hint of sarcasm; he was praising it very seriously.

This makes it all the more humiliating...

"What do you mean by that, Sawamura?!"

No! No! No!

I really have to praise you! Evil Oni Senpai!

"Who is this Evil Oni Senpai?!"

Perhaps it was due to years of practice that Isashiki-senpai's shots were able to accurately enter the Strike Zone.

However, regarding ball control... well, you can imagine for yourself.

Fortunately, the first and second grade teams also began to make a large number of replacements.

The two sides managed to hold their own, and were having a good time.

until...

In the bottom of the tenth inning, with one out, the runner was on first and second base...

"Damn you, Sendou! Why are you here?!" Isashiki cursed at the shameless guy who walked into the Batter's Box.

Everyone else was replaced by a substitute player; they assumed Sendou would also be replaced during the attack. (The substitute player attacks while the original player is in the preparation area, so the original player is still with the substitute player.)

However, this guy just went straight for it.

No! No! No!

I want to try... Jun-san's Rocket Ball!

This might be your only chance!

The remaining two Practice Match will definitely be ended early!

Let me Head-on Showdown against Jun-san!

It's okay if my batting record is invalid!

"Hey! Supervisor!" Sendou Isashiki-senpai with flattery.

Ending the game early is just a way of saying the lineup is strong!

"That bastard!" But the thoughts of first and second graders...

"Isashiki?" Coach Kataoka, who was being asked the question, was also at his wits' end. At this moment, Sendou, that rascal, started to act up.

"Interesting!!!

Then why don't you come and try it!

"I'll strike you out!"

"So where does your confidence come from?!" A group of third-year students thought to themselves.

"Poor child!" Oni-san looked at the clueless Isashiki and silently mourned in his heart.

After so many rounds of batting, the batter's mental state is already very focused.

I doubt there are many pitchers across the country willing to face Sendou at this point.

But this person with inexplicable self-confidence...

"Then go ahead and hit me!"

"But the result doesn't count towards the score!" Even the pitcher had no objection to this kind of recreational game, Coach Kataoka naturally wouldn't say anything either.

"Then let's get started!" Can you believe it was Isashiki who was so eager to begin?

"Puff!"

"Ah!!"

"Go to hell! You bastard!"

"Ping!!!"

"Na...!!!" The next second, Isashiki was stunned.

It's like the sensation of being hit on the head.

"Oh!!!"

"Ah!!!

A super long-range three-pointer that flew out of the fence!!!

The Evil Oni Senpai's ball got hit!!!

"We really need to be careful of Hit-by-Pitch now!!!" Sawamura shouted loudly, oblivious to the danger.

What are you saying?!

"Damn it Sawamura!!!" Sure enough, a deafening Hedor Lion's Roar came from the Pitcher's Mound.

Hahahaha!

Hearing the laughter from the crowd, Isashiki even wanted to take a baseball bat and kill this bastard, just like how Inajitsu chased after Sendou after the game.

It was already incredibly shameful, and then this guy had to get involved.

Isashiki originally thought that losing a single was no big deal, as getting outs would be a huge bonus, something to brag about.

As for the Home Run, how could I be so unlucky? Not only did I get slapped in the face, but there was also this guy who went crazy and courted disaster.

This made Isashiki-senpai want to crawl into a hole and disappear.

Before drilling, I'll probably humanely destroy Sawamura!

After all, he lost so much face!
