The Coming Death Struggle

At the same moment that Seidou celebrates

"This isn't the first time!"

"Someone scored on us!" Kenken Ken he saw Mukai Taiyou looking at the scoreboard.

"No matter how many times, it always makes me feel bad, that's for sure!"

And this is my first time Home Run!

"Your pitching is definitely not bad!"

That guy knows we want to challenge him, and we know how to play the ball!

It's almost as if you're stepping in at the same time as you're stepping in to throw the ball!

The only thing to praise is the hitter!

"Soga!"

"But I'm still in a bad mood!" Mukai said with a smile.

So!

"Then I'll go back!" After seeing that Kenken Ken was alright, Inui turned and left.

The game has started again!

"Aim and fire!!" came the chant from the stands once again.

"Fight back, Miyuki!"

"Keep going!"

"Defeat him in one fell swoop!"

"Call out!"

"Ping!"

"Huh!" Mukai was taken aback!

"It's been sent!!!"

"Yoshi ah!"

My second hit of the day!

"Oh!!!"

Another cheer erupted from the stands.

"It's that guy again!" Mukai thought to himself, somewhat speechless, staring at Miyuki who had run to second base.

"Sendou is right, I just like it!"

"What a guy with great ball control!" Seeing Mukai looking at him, Miyuki clenched his teeth, touched the back of his helmet, and gave a bright but embarrassed smile.

"Yoshi!"

The first batter has reached base!

"Even though there was no one on base, they still hit it out!"

So, are you finally showing some awareness of being a team captain?

Judging from this conversation, it's clear that they are staunch supporters of Seidou, and may even be OBs (observers).

"But, Furuya, the Long Hit Furuya, has been replaced!"

"No problem!"

Sawamura's short-ball drive Miyuki to third base, and then he forces a run, there's a high chance this inning will tie the game!

"That's true!"

"Sixth batter! Pitcher, Sawamura-kun!"

"Hmph!" Sawamura exhaled a breath full of imposing force.

"Sawamura-kun has stepped into the Batter's Box just like that!" Owada Akiko exclaimed.

"Um!

"Looks like they're planning to put him on the Pitcher's Mound next in the next inning!" Mine Fujio replied.

"The rain is really heavy now, we need to tie the score in this game!"

"It's the seventh game after all. It's possible that once this game ends, it will become Rain-Shortened Game!" Seto Takuma said.

"Probably not!"

"The rain is much lighter now than when the game was paused, so it's not like we can't play. We won't easily call it over!" Okumura glanced at the sky and said.

"That might really be true!"

"Nice to meet you!!!" Sawamura bowed deeply to the referee with great confidence.

"Sawamura! Watch the game carefully!" Miyuki, second Miyuki, shouted.

This was also meant to mislead Teitou, Teitou had far too little information about Sawamura.

Although Inajitsu and Koshien also had short-term losses, the blow that made Harada suspicious back then overshadowed the fact that he was exceptionally bad at hitting.

Miyuki also knew that the effect might not be very good. Even if Teitou didn't know how good Sawamura's batting ability was, the possibility of sending someone to third base in this situation was too high.

Only after doing everything you can think of and do can you wait for the results with peace of mind.

"Puff!"

"Call out!"

"Bite!"

"Puff!"

"Because the Mud Pit Ball stopped?" Sawamura exclaimed in surprise.

Sawamura's short game was excellent; he perfectly neutralized the force of the ball, causing it to land on the dirt at home plate.

Without considering the venue conditions beforehand, no matter how many short-hitting matches Sawamura plays, the result will not change.

"Call out!"

"Smack!"

"Out!"

The moment the ball stopped, the outcome was already decided: Miyuki was tagged out at third base.

"Safe!" Sawamura then reached base, since a tug-of-war would take more time.

"Sawamura actually failed in his short-range attack?"

Have we really been abandoned by God today?

"But as long as the rain doesn't end early, we still have Sendou!!!" Kanemaru looked at the failed attack in disbelief, but there was not much despair in his eyes.

"Seventh batter! Maezono-kun!"

"What should we do? Supervise!" Head Manager Oota asked, turning around.

Maezono is not good at short-hitting, and Sawamura only missed scoring at first base.

"Let him play!" Coach Kataoka said firmly.

"But! The rainy day ended early..."

"It doesn't matter!

There won't be any rain today!

Maezono's batting stance remained intact, and he had no random thoughts; he focused solely on the trajectory of the Ball Trajectory he wanted to hit.

Let him hit me, no problem!

"I understand!" Head Manager Oota said helplessly, but Coach Kataoka was right.

Shouji Higasa, who came after him, was not a particularly formidable fighter either.

"Have they already given up on this round?"

Indeed, given Sawamura's current form, it will be very difficult for the opponent to score. Coach Ochiai thought to himself.

He couldn't imagine how much expectation was placed on Maezono.

"The crisis has been resolved!"

"You haven't been able to touch my ball before, how am I going to deal with you in the third at-bat?" Mukai Taiyou, sticking out his tongue.

"Gara!!!" Maezono roared as he stepped into the Batter's Box after seeing his coach extend his fist at him.

"Fire one to show them! Maezono!"

"This strike has to be you!!" The chorus rang out again from the stands.

"Maezono!" (Ono)

"Just keep swinging!" Miyuki, back at home plate, was also cheering on Maezono in his heart.

"That's all!" Maezono muttered to himself.

"Anyway, you wouldn't shoot a low Ball Trajectory, would you?" Maezono looked at Maezono arrogantly before throwing the ball.

"Above the belt!"

"Puff!"

"Call out!"

"Belt!"

"Smack!"

"Nice shot!"

"Low outside the corner!" Maezono looked at the ball that fell into his glove, a clear win for the ball, but he was completely unmoved, as if he hadn't seen it and had missed a good Ball Trajectory.

When he's aiming for a high ball, he can't hit Low Ball.

"Above the belt!"

"Puff!"

"Call out!"

"Smack!"

"Nice shot!"

"The inner corner is low!

"This guy!!" Even if Maezono wasn't very bright, he couldn't possibly not see that the other party knew he wouldn't shoot Low Ball before being chased, so he deliberately threw two Low Ball.

"Serves you right!"

"Don't think this trick will always work!" Mukai stuck out his tongue when he saw Maezono's fierce eyes.

"Phew!!" Maezono took a deep breath to calm herself down.

"Let's finish this with this ball!"

"Above the belt!"

"Puff!"

"Call out!"

"Another Low Ball!... This is it!" Maezono, who was about to make a shot, held back in the end.

"Smack!"

"Bad ball!"

"Phew!" Maezono exhaled.

He knew that if he made a move now, it would be all over.

Sawamura and the others also exhaled along with him, making exaggerated gestures as if they were about to jump off the bench.

"If you can bite me back... then come and try!"

As you wish!

After three consecutive Low Ball, can you react in time?

"Puff!"

"Call out!"

"Ping!"

"Smack!"

"Out!"

"Out!"

"Double kill!!"

"Nice ball, Taiyou!!"

Did you see that?!

This is the ironclad infield formation of Teitou!!

"Wow, that was fast! The second baseman caught the ball and threw it so fast!"

Is this really a match played in the rain?!

"Another high drop Hanging Ball!"

"That's Ball Trajectory that could easily Long Hit for a long time, and it went in again!" Owada Akiko exclaimed.

"Ah!

And after being hit repeatedly!

What audacity!

There's absolutely no need for Maezono-kun, who's being chased, to take such a risk!

Moreover, they had already pressured the batter, so all they needed to do was throw a Ball Trajectory that forced the batter to shoot.

For example, a high inside corner Diagonal Fastball or a wide-angle straight shot from the Left Side Throw is very difficult to hit.

Is it an attempt to demonstrate one's dominance?

Is this a response to the previous Home Run? Mine Fujio was also taken aback by this.

With so many good options available, they chose such a bold way to deal with the attacker.

"It's just simple willfulness!"

Just like that white-haired guy...

"He threw an easy ball, which is why I hit it!" Sendou complained as he sat down after returning.

"I told you that one is not easy to fight at all!!" A group of people collectively complained about Sendou.

It gives the feeling of a collective "Shut up, you idiot!"

"This time it's so slow!" Head Manager Oota remarked, suppressing a laugh.

"My face was wet from the rain and a little itchy, so I washed it off a bit!"

"I didn't expect that I would have to go to guard duty so soon after I got back!" Sendou said with a smile.

"That's true!"

"We absolutely cannot let the game end like this!" Miyuki said.

"You're not the referee! Rain..."

"I told you not to say such unlucky things!"

"What if it comes true?!" Sendou was barely finished speaking when his seniors silenced him.

"The defenses of the Teitou are too strong!"

"Even in such heavy rain, there were basically no mistakes!"

"How much training have they done?! Both teams are at such a high level!"

As expected of summer, these are the two representative teams from West Tokyo's Koshien!

"The infield defense is thanks to Coach Okamoto's ' Godly Batting '!"

It always manages to land right in front of the player, making it extremely difficult to catch!

With that kind of training, the defense will naturally be formidable!

"I just hope the rainy days don't end!"

The spectators on the sidelines were having a lively discussion during the breaks.

"The difference is only one point!"

For Seidou, what wasn't a particularly long point suddenly felt like an eternity before the referee announced the continuation of the match! "Owada Akiko sighed, she didn't want the match to end like this either.

"The atmosphere at Seidou is really great!"

"He seems to be really enjoying the match!" Seto Takuma laughed, but looking at Okumura's expression, he couldn't laugh anymore.

After all, their previous coach always talked about enjoying the game!

However, Okumura simply disliked their original coach and the questioning of his baseball theories.

It's not that I have a strong prejudice against enjoying the game itself, but of course I can't like or agree with it either; at most, I have doubts.

Don't worry about it!

"Just keep it up!" Coach Kataoka encouraged.

"Hi!"

"The game is restarting?" A sharp-eyed spectator shouted excitedly when he saw that the referee had not yet announced the end of the game.

The referee then confirmed his shout, and the game continued!

"Yoshi ya!!!" Sawamura shouted to encourage himself as he stepped onto the court for the Eighth Inning.

"Give it your all!" Miyuki continued to urge Sawamura on, looking at the guy in front of him who was full of Fighting Spirit.

"Puff!"

"Call out!"

"Smack!"

"Nice shot!"

"Outside Corner Ball!

After that Inside Corner Ball, has the rhythm returned to the outside corner? The striker from Teitou was very angry, but there was nothing he could do.

"Puff!"

"Call out!"

"Ping!"

"Right field!"

"Smack!"

"Out!"

"Yoshia!!"

"The timing was so bad!" The Teitou batter ran back in frustration, eager to score a second point.

"Puff!"

"Call out!"

"Ping!"

The third batter aimed for the outside corner of the first pitch, but failed to hit it properly. Koharu's solid defense kept him out of the game.

"The fly ball to right field was followed by a Ground Ball by the third batter!"

"Two are out!"

"Two out!"

"That's amazing!"

Sawamura didn't allow the opponent a single hit today!

"So quickly, there's only one elimination left!"

Wow, the pace is so fast!

"And if this continues, it'll be Sendou's turn in the Ninth Inning!"

"So, is Teitou starting to get anxious too?"

"The ball speed doesn't look that fast!"

"Could it be that the ball that suddenly becomes so sharp is right under my nose?" Seto Takuma really seizes every opportunity to chat with Okumura.

"It's still centered Outside Corner Ball kick!" Owada Akiko said.

"It's probably a topic for this period of time!"

"We hadn't even voted yet during the Autumn Tournament Qualifier!" By this time, Mine Fujio had already compiled all the information.

After all, this reporter is someone who can even roughly grasp the Practice Match of pharmacists and Seidou.

Only those who happened to be watching the game knew about it.

This intelligence capability, coupled with Mine Fujio's long-standing belief in Seidou's news value, has allowed him to develop a strong intelligence network.

His years of hard work finally paid off this summer.

"Fourth batter! Catcher, Inui!"

"Here they come! Teitou's fourth batter!"

"This fourth round of hitting will probably be the last one today."

Speaking of which, it's the same on Seidou's side!

"A difference of just one point is far too risky!"

That's right!

"At least get one or two points before the Ninth Inning!"

"Seidou is putting a lot of pressure on them!"

With two players eliminated and no runners left, it was Kenken Ken, especially since his team was struggling to score.

Judging from the current situation, it's impossible to tell that Teitou is in the lead.

"Two out! Two out! Sawamura!!"

"Let him call! Sawamura!"

"Let's settle this once and for all!!"

"Charge! Charge! Teitou!"

Charge! Charge! Teitou!

GO! GO! Let's GO!

"Let's GO! Teitou!" The Teitou spectators shouted desperately.

The time has come for a decisive battle.

"Give me Gabu!!!"

"Gabu ah!! Kengo!!!" Coach Okamoto grinned wildly on the bench, looking like a Little Tiger.

"Qian-san!!" Mukai Taiyou also placed all his hopes on this senior.

It is precisely because he is willful towards Kenken Ken that he is the person Mukai respects and trusts the most.

I really gave it my all today, and it will be a long time before I have another chance to fill in the missing words.

Now I still owe four thousand...

My head is throbbing, I'm outta here. Goodnight.
