"They're here! They've appeared!!"

"A two-run Home Run hit the outside fastball into the right field stands!!"

"The pitcher's partner completed the incredible comeback with this hit!!"

"Well done! Miyuki, you bastard!!"

"Yalu!" Senior Maezono cursed softly.

"Huh?... Huh?" Sawamura didn't see it at all and stared blankly at the people shouting.

When he learned that Miyuki had hit Home Run, he secretly lamented that he had missed an opportunity to show off his knowledge.

"That's two hits in two at-bats, isn't that amazing!"

"I only got one hit!" Sendou chuckled and cursed under his breath.

"This one! That one! They're all guys that get my blood pumping!"

"You barely escaped from that fourth-rate guy!" Umemiya said with a smile.

"Sixth batter! Maezono-kun!"

"A-Yuan!"

The pitcher was absolutely terrified!

"Keep going, A-Yuan!"

"Senior Maezono!"

Give him the final blow!

"Puff!"

"Call out!"

"Smack!"

"Nice shot!!"

When Seidou's supporters cheered loudly and enthusiastically, completely overwhelming Ugumori in terms of momentum,

With this goal, Umemiya showed everyone that he was completely unaffected and was even happier.

"Ping!"

"Outside the boundary!"

"We're after him!!"

"Ume-chan!!"

"Go!"

"Puff!"

"Call out!"

"Smack!"

"Nice shot!"

"The attacker is out!"

In the end, Umemiya chose to believe in his winning shot and successfully escaped from Seidou's clutches.

"Nice pitches! Ume-chan!!"

"Nice pitches! Ume-chan!!"

"Nice pitches! Ume-chan!!"

"Stop repeating the same thing all the time!!!" Umemiya shouted at her companions again.

"Ume-chan! Here... a drink!"

"Ume-chan, towel!"

"Ume-chan! Would you like some pickled plums?"

"Ume-chan! Want a banana?"

"Hey!!" Umemiya was defeated...

Ugumori's break ended in this joyful atmosphere.

"It's our turn!"

"We need to score!!" Umemiya shouted loudly, resuming his leadership role.

"Oh!!!"

"We must suppress them in this round, completely suppress them!" On the other side, Miyuki shouted to the players.

"Oh!!!"

"Yoshia!!!"

"Top of the fourth inning! Ugumori High School's attack..."

Fifth batter, first baseman, Inubushi- kun!

"Go!! Kouta!!"

"Kouta!! Get out of here!!"

"Do they still have the Fighting Spirit?"

"But we won't lose!" Miyuki thought to himself, looking at Ugumori's unwavering presence on the bench.

Not only Miyuki, but Furuya is also highly Fighting Spirit!

"Puff!"

"Piu!"

"Ping!"

"Outside the boundary!"

"The impact is something I can't even compare to!" Inubushi thought to himself as he felt the vibration in his hand.

"Puff!"

"Piu!"

"Thump!!!"

"Fast Forkball!"

"Nice shot!!"

"Yoshi! The hitter missed!"

"Nice ball Furuya!!!"

"Puff!"

"Piu!"

"Ping!"

"Smack!"

"Out of the game!!"

The elimination of the first attacker is of great significance to Seidou.

The fourth batter, Umemiya, and the fifth batter, Inubushi, were significantly more powerful than the others.

Although they allowed one player to reach base and each batter used up a lot of pitches, they still managed to finish the inning smoothly.

By the way, this inning was Three Up Three Down, and the runner who got on base stole a base and was knocked out by Miyuki.

Ugumori continued his aggressive base-stealing, a stark contrast to his earlier restraint.

However, most of the attacks committed by Miyuki were suicidal.

"Bottom of the fourth inning! Seidou High School's attack..."

Seven bats, pitcher, Furuya-kun! "

"Ping!"

"Smack!"

The ball landed between first and second base, slightly off first base, and was caught by Inubushi Kouta sent him flying several meters.

"Kouta! Over here!" Umemiya, Backup Position, shouted loudly.

Before anyone could react, Umemiya and Furuya, who had just finished their call, were already close to first base.

"I will absolutely not lose to you!" Umemiya was one step ahead in the end, and because of his competitive spirit, he once again whispered a provocative challenge to Furuya.

Furuya's eyes widened instantly. He stepped on the base due to inertia and seemed to be clearly shocked, momentarily losing his focus.

The moment I landed, I felt a stinging pain and discomfort in my feet again, but because of what had happened before, I didn't pay attention to it.

After all, the doctor said his foot was fine. This Natural Airhead and slow-witted guy, due to the effects of adrenaline and other natural hormones, couldn't sense the changes in his body and thought it was his previous injury!

These hormones in the human body have a very good analgesic effect.

During World War II, there was a German officer, I think he was from the elite Totenkopf Division.

The intense excitement of a close-quarters battle caused hormones such as adrenaline to be secreted to an extreme level.

This results in the body not feeling pain at all, and even the senses have no sensation, just like the brain is all machine, without any sense of touch.

After the hand-to-hand combat ended and he calmed down, he realized that he had lost a leg...

"Doo-la!" Having defeated another formidable opponent, Umemiya was extremely excited and roared loudly.

"Beep beep!!!" The people on the bench were unusually cooperative, after all, they were the Group Favorite.

Moreover, he is completely different from Sawamura, who is the beloved Group Favorite who is spoiled by being bullied.

However, batters like Furuya have a hard time performing against pitchers who appear rough on the surface but actually have excellent ball control and are good at using their brains.

At least Furuya's current pitch selection and hitting skills are still quite lacking, and his overall ability is much worse than it was in the spring of his previous life.

After that, Tojo and Kanemaru, both first-year students, were also eliminated.

In the top of the fifth inning, Ugumori still managed to get a base on Infield Hit, but before he could steal a base, Furuya was Four Balls.

That's right, the one who got the Four Balls was Kondo Daiki.

After yesterday's Inajitsu, he achieved three bases today, and it was three consecutive at-bats. You can only say that this guy is very good at harassing and choosing pitches.

Furuya was completely unaffected by this, which only made him more violent.

Although violence is a double-edged sword, this time it clearly went in a positive direction, striking out two batters against Ugumori.

With their scoring opportunity thwarted, Ugumori also faced a test... Seidou High School's Center Batting Lineup in the third round!

" In the Bottom of the Fifth Inning, Seidou High School's attack..."

One hit! Shortstop, Kuramochi-kun!

"Run with all your might!... Don't stop..."

Run as fast as you can!... Don't stop...

Charge! Kuramochi!

Kuramochi!! Kuramochi!!

"The top-ranked players in the third round!"

"You won't get away with this so easily!!"

"That's true!"

The first batter went really well!

We've watched that pitcher's pitches twice already, and both the fourth and fifth batters have hit a Home Run!

"And they won the game yesterday!"

Facing that Inajitsu!

The older men who supported Seidou were discussing the matter with unusual optimism.

Time flies, and the boys who ran on the court for the honor of Seidou back then have now become middle-aged men.

Of course, if you say it directly, they might retort, "I'm only in my early thirties, not even close to forty yet, I'm not some kind of uncle!"

Such words!

Back to the game, Ugumori's team, after discussing with the pitcher and catcher, was ready to pitch the first pitch.

"Puff!"

"Call out!"

"Smack!"

"Bad ball!"

"Beautiful shot selection! Kuramochi!"

"The pitcher is scared!"

"Damn it! Why aren't you doing anything?!"

"You've really looked very carefully. Well then... how about this one!" Umemiya thought to himself.

"Puff!"

"Call out!"

"Smack!"

"Nice shot!"

"Slow Curveball!"

Sure enough, the ball's landing point was well controlled!

"What a great pitcher!" This time it was Kuramochi's turn to exclaim in his heart.

"Puff!"

"Call out!"

"Ping!"

"I couldn't get through!!"

But... it couldn't be stopped!

"Wow, that was fast! Kuramochi!"

"Kuramochi!! Kuramochi!!"

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

"Keep going, Shirazu!"

"Shirazu-senpai!!"

"Seriously, they're all such troublesome batters!" Umemiya wiped his sweat. After three rounds of batting, he was feeling a lot of pressure.

The Seidou Batting Lineup is quite different from the Inajitsu batting lineup, which was a mess yesterday.

Moreover, Umemiya was also suffering from fatigue from consecutive throws.

"Puff!"

"Stealing a base!!"

"At this time?"

"Call out!"

"Smack!"

"Safety!!"

"A flash of lightning!!!"

"So fast!!!"

"A beautiful start! Kuramochi!"

"A good judgment!" Miyuki thought to himself.

"Hateful!!

They hadn't run around much before, they'd completely forgotten about it!

We absolutely cannot afford to relax even for a moment!

"Let's focus on dealing with the attackers now!" Umemiya muttered in frustration, but quickly recovered.

"Puff!"

"Beep!"

"Call out!"

"Ping!!"

"Puff!"

"Yoshi ah!"

Left field long hitter's path!

"Sixth point secured!!"

"Seidou Batting Lineup has exploded!"

"Still no outs on second base!"

"And next up is the Center Batting Lineup!!!"

"Third batter! Second baseman, Kominato-kun!"

"Koharu!!"

"Charge!! ×N!"

"Puff!"

"I... won't lose to you!" Umemiya thought to himself as he pitched the ball, glancing at Koharu.

"Call out!"

"Despair!"

"Outside the boundary!"

"Smack!"

"Bad ball!"

"Puff!"

"Call out!"

"Despair!"

"Smack!"

"Out of the game!!"

"Beep beep!!!"

"Doo-la!!" This time, the crowd cheered once again.

This number of eliminations is extremely important to them.

because...

"Fourth batter! Center forward, Sendou-kun!"

"Fourth batter! Center forward, Sendou-kun!"

... The real test has arrived.

"What a tenacious fellow!"

Completely different from its rugged appearance!

Despite taking so many shots, he remained so resilient and calm!

"This is getting interesting!" Sendou thought to himself as he entered the Batter's Box, preparing for the attack.

"Let's begin!" Umemiya tossed away the anti-slip powder in her hand and calmly looked at Sendou.

It should be said that Sendou's fighting style made him decide to fight him again before the game even started.

However, this decisive victory is not absolute.

They definitely won't throw him any easy Ball Trajectory. If the pitch count is unfavorable, they'll immediately give up and walk him directly.

"Puff!"

"You bastard!!" Umemiya roared inwardly as he threw the ball with all his might.

"Call out!"

"Smack!"

"Bad ball!"

Was the first ball bad?

"As expected, I don't intend to fight to the death, but I'm afraid I'll have to suffer a bit against this guy!" Miyuki thought to himself in the preparation area.

"Puff!"

"Call out!"

"Smack!"

"Bad ball!"

"He showed absolutely no intention of swinging!"

What happened? Suddenly! Neither Umemiya nor Minami Tomo understood the situation at all.

The guy who used to be so aggressive and willing to do anything to please others has suddenly become so laid-back.

"It's coming!" Miyuki thought to himself.

"Puff!"

"Drink it!"

"Call out!"

"Ping!!"

"Outside the boundary!!"

"They've started making moves again?"

"What on earth is this guy thinking?" Minami Tomo, sitting in his wheelchair, was full of questions.

"Call out!"

"Ping!"

"Outside the boundary!!"

"Should we continue to fight to the death? Or..." Umemiya looked towards the bench, somewhat unsure.

Minami Tomo is also struggling with this decision!

Even though he's the team's tactical leader, he's still just a high school student, completely different from a cunning old fox like Sendou.

Compared to the Sendou, she is as pure as a blank sheet of paper...

Fortunately, Minami Tomo had good judgment and knew that it wasn't time to give up yet.

What's more, they currently have the lead in points!

"Let's continue to decide the winner!" Minami Tomo Signals to the crowd.

Upon seeing the order from the command post, Umemiya breathed a sigh of relief.

Get ready to give it your all in this showdown!

"We have the advantage now in terms of both the number of balls and the Ball Trajectory!"

There is absolutely no reason to give up!

"I'm counting on you, Oda Nobunaga!!" Minami Tomo thought to himself as he looked at Umemiya.

"Ume-chan! Let's finish him off!"

"Charge!!!"

"Fight him to the death!!"

"Ume-chan!!"

"Men, you know, they all have... their own world!"

If I had to use a metaphor... it would be... that star streaking across the sky!

Send it out! Immortal Path!!

Immortal Path!! Immortal Path!!

Ugumori was screaming his lungs out, while Seidou was even more direct, with the substitutes in the stands joining in, as well as the bench and many Seidou and Sendou supporters.

It can be described as a grand and impressive event.

"Come on, Ume-chan!" Ugumori's catcher raised his gloves.

"We don't need a good shot at this point!"

If it's a game decided by a good shot, I'm actually a little...

"After all, there's someone in the scoring circle who can decide the winner against this guy!" Umemiya muttered to himself.

"Puff!"

"Let's use this guy... his powerful curveball to decide the outcome!"

"Call out!"

"Vertical Slider! It's a bad shot that's way off course!"

Sendou has a very poor ability to judge these kinds of Changeup!

He's about to make his move! In that instant, many thoughts flashed through Miyuki; he was even more nervous than if he were standing in the Batter's Box himself.

"Ping!!"

"Ah!!" Umemiya's eyes widened in disbelief.

"Ah!!" More than one person exclaimed in surprise.

A few seconds later...

"Outside the boundary!!"

Sigh! It's a long story...

Finally, I'm asking for your votes...
