Bayonet Fighting

"However, the opponent's mistake just allowed Senior Kuramochi to get an Infield Hit. I'm really looking forward to going back!" Sendou looked at Kuramochi with ill intent.

Kuramochi was overjoyed at the moment that he had been able to reach base.

I was so focused that I haven't thought about all that right now.

"You keep saying that Tetsu-san likes... what's that called again?"

"By the way, you always say that Tetsu-san likes to gossip, but you're pretty much the same way yourself!" Miyuki teased.

Sendou glanced at him, then ignored him and got up to put on his protective gear.

The runner is currently on first and second base with one out, and the batter is on second base. It's possible that it will be his turn in this inning.

This is an exceptionally dire situation for Teitou.

They must take down the second and third batters in order to have any chance of ending the inning before it's Sendou's turn.

Moreover, they will be facing Koharu and Shirazu-senpai, two strong hitters.

Koharu, needless to say, received a hit from Mukai.

Although Shirazu-senpai hasn't gotten a hit yet, taking his outs is by no means easy.

It can be said that although Shirazu-senpai did not get a hit, he lived up to his title as the Center Batting Lineup.

Incidentally, although the ball went astray, it only bounced off the first baseman's glove, and the first baseman reacted very quickly and caught it.

This made the runners, after confirming the situation, hesitant to make any rash moves.

However, it was soon Sendou's turn, and the two of them had not been resolved peacefully.

The best possible outcome would be a bases-loaded situation against Sendou, which is why the situation has become so dire.

I doubt any team would want to face Sendou with the bases loaded, especially in the fourth round.

"Seidou!"

"Seidou!"

"Seidou!"

"Seidou!"

The entire audience was chanting in unison, and this match between two prestigious teams had finally reached its Bayonet Fighting, a fierce battle to the death.

Moreover, this is a crucial situation that could very well determine the outcome of the match; it's impossible not to be excited.

At this moment, even Teitou Pitcher-Catcher's expression changed, and both of them showed varying degrees of confusion.

"Second baseman, Kominato-kun!"

"Xiaochun! Aim and fire!"

"Use that sharp look hidden beneath your hair!" Sawamura covered his eyes with his right hand, and when he said "sharp eyes," he spread his fingers, revealing his piercing left eye.

"Uh-huh!" Kominato blushed and gave an awkward but polite smile.

Kenken Ken had already reacted and called a defensive timeout, and the entire infield team gathered together.

Coach Kataoka also gave a Signals to the players, instructing them to observe the situation and act when the opportunity presented itself.

And don't be greedy and make moves too easily. They only need one point right now. The longer the game goes on, the better for them. Their priority is to get a tie.

After all, Sawamura had just entered the game, and Kawakami standby. The opponent's ace was not yet at the point of being easily defeated. He might actually unleash his full potential and lead Teitou through this crisis.

"Taiyou! This situation is in your hands!"

"That's what the supervisor said!" said the messenger from the Teitou.

Teitou has no clever plans left, so now the only option is a Bayonet Fighting showdown.

The trust placed in Mukai Taiyou's confidence.

In Coach Okamoto's words, the fire has already begun to burn.

Go forth, Taiyou!

"Without experiencing this kind of crisis, you can't create an ace!" Coach Okamoto thought to himself as he looked at the figure on the Pitcher's Mound.

"In short, be wary of the first goal!"

This batter might use the same trick again, but the real danger is that if he makes a mistake, it will be the fourth batter's turn.

"With one out and runners on first and second, it's not really a crisis. Let's deal with them carefully!" Kenken Ken said to Mukai.

"I know, Qian-san!" Mukai Taiyou said with a smile, regaining his usual flippant manner.

"Let's go!!"

"Yoshia!!"

With Kenken Ken's encouragement, the players returned to their respective defensive positions.

"Really... thank you!"

Meeting you has elevated me!

The number of pitches... doesn't matter at all!

"Whether it's ten rounds or twenty rounds, I'll play to the very end!" Mukai glanced at Sendou, who was now fully equipped with protective gear, and sighed inwardly.

Fighting against strong opponents can quickly unleash a person's potential.

Mukai made progress through this match.

"Come on!" Kenken Ken was already ready.

"Go out there, Xiaochun!!"

"Puff!"

"Call out!"

"Smack!"

"Nice shot!"

"Yoshi!"

"Nice Ball Taiyou!!"

"The angle is really tricky!"

"The attacker had no way to retaliate!"

"First ball Diagonal Fastball?"

"To be able to throw so accurately at the edge of the field at this moment!" Owada Akiko exclaimed.

"And the angle at which it Left Side Throw!"

"It won't be so easy for Seidou to score!" Mine Fujio said seriously.

The Teitou recommended Koharu in his previous life doesn't mean that Mukai couldn't control him.

After all, Koharu only managed to get a hit by surprise attack. It can only be said that Maezono was too weak at the time, so he chose the weakest opponent as his opponent.

"Puff!"

"Call out!"

"Smack!"

"Nice shot!!"

"Missed the spin ball!"

"And the ball landed in the Strike Zone."

"Both goals in a row were decided by the Strike Zone!"

Is this a way to catch Seidou off guard by using contrast?

However, even the usually easy-going Kominato was caught off guard so easily!

"The ball distribution strategy has changed!"

"Although this ball landed in the Strike Zone, it's because the original Ball Trajectory was more inside," Coach Ochiai said quietly.

"Given the current situation, it's not surprising that some people would choose to take a gamble!"

Moreover, our operation against him is to wear down his physical strength.

This shows that we don't actually have any good solutions for him; we can only hope that he throws easy Ball Trajectory!

"With such precise control, it's naturally difficult to launch an attack!" Sendoh, now dressed in protective gear and sitting next to Coach Ochiai Sendou, chimed in.

Coach Kataoka thought for a moment and then gave a Signals!

The three people in the room stared wide-eyed.

"It's time to decide the winner!" Xiaochun gripped the baseball bat tightly.

The two runners also became more closely grouped together.

At this point, judging from Jing's appearance, it was impossible to expect him to throw an easy Ball Trajectory.

Continuing to be disrupted will actually be disadvantageous to the attacker.

After all, the opponent is a formidable hitter like Xiaochun. With such high concentration and careful shooting, it's unlikely that he'll miss a shot.

"Puff!"

"Stealing a base!!"

"Two players stealing bases?!"

"Call out!"

"Smack!"

"Bad ball!"

"Are Seidou's runners starting to disrupt the pitchers too?"

"Of course, Mukai is in such good shape!"

Coach Kataoka continued to give Signals to the players on the field.

Don't worry about it!

"You're in a favorable situation, but they just want to disrupt you!" Kenken Ken given me a signal to focus on dealing with the attackers, Signals given to me by the runner.

"I know! Qian-san!"

At this moment, Sendou also stepped down from the bench.

Kanemaru glanced at Sendou.

"Puff!"

"Stealing a base!!"

"Again?!"

"Call out!"

"Um?"

"Despair!"

"Hit and Run!!"

"It hit the first baseman's glove as he lunged out, but it didn't go through!"

But it rolled into an interesting place!

"First base!" Kenken Ken shouted as second baseman Kajiyama chased the ball.

"Run!!" Sendou shouted, waving his arms.

"Pfft!" Just as Kajiyama took a step to pass the ball.

"Ku! ku! ku! ku!"

"The runner has rounded third base!!"

"Charge straight to home plate!"

"The runner on second base is now heading towards third base."

When Kanemaru saw Sendou, the two exchanged a subtle conversation.

He chose to trust Sendou's instructions, and Kuramochi also noticed that Kajiyama was in a hurry and passed the ball directly without even glancing at the runner.

I initially thought Kanemaru would stop at third base, but for some reason he chose to charge. (The crowd was so chaotic that only Kanemaru looked in Sendou's direction.)

He naturally wouldn't stop.

Both players stole bases; when the second baseman picked up the ball, both had already advanced one base.

"Smack!"

"Out!"

"You think you can score directly from second base with a Ground Ball?!" Mukai shouted in his mind as he passed the ball to first Backup Position.

"Snap!" Kenken Ken turned around quickly and knocked the runner to death.

"Safety!!"

After the umpire's decision, the player was undoubtedly on base.

"Yoshia!!!"

"Oh!!!"

"Tie!!!"

"Two outs, runner on third!!"

"Crush them in one fell swoop!!!"

The benches and stands of Seidou erupted in cheers, as the audience applauded this daring attack!

"Ah!!!" Kanemaru shouted excitedly after returning to home plate.

He seized the opportunity and delivered Coach Kataoka's attention.

Kanemaru isn't greedy; he just hopes to make it onto Coach Kataoka's rotation list.

After the shouting and yelling, Kanemaru was surrounded by a group of people who began to celebrate.

This point was truly hard-won. We were waiting for Mukai to throw an easy Ball Trajectory, but he just held on.

Kanemaru's single, Kuramochi's Safety Bunt, and this run—a series of actions—all resulted in a run snatched from Teitou.

Even with such a hard-fought opportunity, they only got it in the Eighth Inning.

They were naturally extremely excited!

Coach Kataoka watched with a smile as Sendou placed his left hand in front of him in Bow Shape celebration pose.

Sendou was even happier at that moment than when he hit Home Run himself!

"Just as expected, this is exactly the kind of player we need to lead the way!" Coach Ochiai stroked his mustache and stared at Sendou.

"It was just Ground Ball in the infield before, but in an instant..." Owada Akiko covered her mouth with one hand.

"Ah! It's only because Teitou is well-trained that he can cover for his position, Backup Position, get up and pass it so quickly, which is why he managed to get Kominato-kun out of the game."

A run was conceded simply because the second baseman didn't check the runner's position when throwing the ball!

This is... a prestigious family!

This scene is somewhat similar to what happened during the summer preliminaries when we faced Mingchuan!

"But the results were quite different!" Mine Fujio exclaimed.

"Moreover, after the tie, the situation in the game began to tilt in favor of Seidou."

"No matter how good Mukai-kun's form is, he's still only a freshman, and he's already racked up too many balls!" Mine Fujio muttered to himself after speaking with Owada Akiko.

At this moment, Kenken Ken called a halt to the capture.

He also needs to check on Mukai's condition, encourage him, and discuss ball selection.

After all, the guy in front of us is quite willful!

"Thank you so much for earlier!"

Having finally escaped from his seniors, Kanemaru ran up to Sendou and sincerely thanked him.

"Nothing!

Aren't you the one competing?

"No matter how impressive the battle, it all depends on the person executing it!" Sendou said with a smile, tapping Kanemaru's chest with his fist.

To put it in some people's words, Kanemaru's feelings at this moment were, "He's about to be tamed."

Although not to the level of a devoted fan like Furuya or Mishima, he was more like a devoted admirer.

"I'm fine, Qian-san!"

Isn't this reckless behavior proof that they're afraid of me?

"And two of them are out!" Mukai said as Inui approached.

"Um!

Although the next team to Center Batting Lineup, they were already out twice!

Be careful when pitching against the opposing team's solid hitters!

And just now I...

Hi hi!

It felt like I was struck by lightning again, didn't it?

I see!"

"Ugh!" Kenken Ken looked at Mukai with a long face and a shocked expression.

"Let's start the game quickly!"

"How long are you going to keep watching me, Qian-san?"

Kenken Ken was helpless against this willful guy and could only step down from the pitcher's pitch again.

He had no idea why he had called for a timeout!

After returning, the referee announced the start of the match.

"Three bats! Right fielder, Shirazu-kun!"

"Charge! Shirazu!"

"Shirazu-senpai!!"

"Crush them in one fell swoop!!!"

"The pitcher is scared!!!"

A burst of enthusiastic cheers erupted from the Seidou side, along with some words intended to provoke the other side.

"He runs very fast, has excellent striking skills, and is not lacking in power. Although this hitter looks unremarkable, he is very well-rounded."

However, this field will more or less limit the speed of base running.

"I have to make sure he doesn't play well." Kenken Ken made up his mind.

After being eliminated twice, Qian was no longer in a hurry.

"Ping!"

"Smack!"

The ball that Shirazu-senpai hit was blocked by Kajiyama with all his might.

Although he was only covered by gloves, it prevented him from rolling out of the field.

That was enough. He quickly retrieved the ball, stood up, and passed it with astonishing speed.

He blocked the ball with his brilliant performance, as if he had made up for his previous mistakes!

"Smack!"

"Out!"

"Iron Wall!!!"

"Nice Play Kajiyama!!!"

"The inning ended before that fourth batter!!"

"Don't worry about it! Shirazu!"

The other party was just lucky!

"That's right! We can only praise that garrison commander."

"They'll normally get through it!!"

Although he only got one point, Seidou was extremely satisfied, comforting Shirazu while celebrating.

Shirazu can only accept today's No Hit result.

His performance today was remarkable and put immense pressure on the Teitou Pitcher-Catcher.

By the way, the previous Yuqing was changed to shrinking...

Finally, I'm asking for votes. It's been so long since I've had more than 30 recommendation votes...
