Chapter 38: Continues And Unexpected!

"Sawamura, Sawamura!!!"

"Demon-King! Demon-King!!!"

With Sawamura's long hit, the audience burst into endless cheers.

In the face of Akikawa's tenacity, in the end, it is up to him, the Demon King, to turn the tide.

The members of the Brotherhood of Red Heart and the Demon King's Guard have gone completely crazy.

"I knew he could do it!!"

"It is really cool!"

"Sawamura!!"

"Demon King!!"

In Seidou's rest area, Isashiki, who had just returned to the rest area, pouted in dissatisfaction.

"Glory has come to this kid in his arms."

Tetsuya is also fired up so much that his aura is overflowing.

Chris is okay with it.

"There's nothing wrong, let's bring Sawamura to the pinnacle of glory."

"He's your Kohai, of course you don't care."

"Isn't he also your Kohai?"

Chris doesn't mind bickering with Isashiki.

Isashiki always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't remember it for a while.

Kuramochi stood aside, his stomach hurt from laughing.

He'd better not say anything.

Although Jun-san can't do anything to Chris-senpai, but it's okay to bully him.

No Out, runner at second base.

Right now, Seidou's attack was far from over.

On the mound.

The players of Akikawa Academy gathered there to support Yoh Shunshin.

"Hehe~"

Yoh Shunshin, who looked up at the sky, suddenly laughed.

"There's nothing wrong with this. If Seidou doesn't have such strength, I will be troubled."

His eyes became sharp: "Keep your spirits up and continue, the game is not over yet. The gap is only two points!"

Two points gap, the game is not over.

Yoh Shunshin's words were like reassuring Akikawa's players.

They regained their previous momentum and continued to fight with Seidou.

Seidou's rest area.

Coach Ochiai pinched his words: "It seems that the two-point gap is not enough to defeat the pitcher of Akikawa."

Kataoka nodded.

Sawamura's long hits gave them a two-point lead. Although Akikawa's momentum was hit to a certain extent, it did not completely defeat them.

This will not work!

Thinking about it, he decisively made a sign to Masuko on the field.

'If Two points is not enough, how about Three?'

With the pressure brought by Sawamura, the gap widened to three points. Do the players of Akikawa still have the will to resist?

If Seidou leads by three points, it means that Akikawa must score at least four points in the remaining inning before they can win.

Five innings of offense, four points from Sawamura!

Even if they were the strongest lineup in Tokyo, it may not be possible to do it.

Not to mention this ordinary lineup!

Ping!

Masuko is still very compliant, he directly used the bunt to send Sawamura to third base.

"OUT!"

Masuko was blocked, and Sawamura, who started early, went to third base smoothly.

One Out, runner at third base.

On the pitcher's mound, Yoh Shunshin's eyes were like a trapped beast.

It's not that he didn't know Seidou's plan, but what if he knew?

With the strength of Seidou's players, they wanted to send Sawamura back to home plate, and it was difficult for Akikawa to stop them.

Does he want to lose a point?

There is a fundamental difference between two points and three points.

In a pitching duel, the weight of one point is terrifying.

When the score is extended to two points, the lagging side will be at an extreme disadvantage.

Three points, then Seidou can almost declare victory in advance!

'No, no, right now, there is no way to give Seidou the opportunity to continue to expand the score.'

Yoh Shunshin commanded his teammates and stepped forward to defend.

The first priority is to block Sawamura!

"Now, Akikawa has been forced into the corner." In the stands, Baseball Kingdom reporter Fujio said dramatically.

The incompetence of his teammates ultimately limited Yoh Shunshin's progress.

Once the score gap is enlarged, Akikawa has no strength to catch up at all.

Offense and defense are like the two legs of a man. Akikawa's defense is good, but the attack is too weak. It's like losing a leg.

In the running game, it is not enough to take the lead at all.

Once you fall behind and you want to catch up, it will be too difficult…

Seidou will only run farther and farther, and it is impossible to give Akikawa the chance to catch up.

The game continues.

"Sixth Batter, catcher, Takigawa-kun!"

As soon as Chris came on the field, he put on a bunt stance.

'Are they going to use the forced scoring?'

All the players in Akikawa tensed their nerves, and all the cells in their bodies jumped.

Stop them. Stop them at any cost.

Without Yoh Shunshin, what will these players of Akikawa be doing?

Probably studying for the exam…

No one can tell what Shunshin brought them. However, they used to be ordinary, but now they live a different life.

West Tokyo Top 16!

Such a ranking is enough for them to be proud.

Shunshin brought them here, how can they retreat when Shunshin encounters difficulties?

'Stop the ball even with your body.'

At this moment, Akikawa showed a fighting spirit that was absolutely no less than Seidou's.

On the strike zone, Akikawa did not affect Chris, and he steadfastly placed the short Batter there.

'Hit if you can!'

Yoh Shunshin's expression changed, and he threw the ball.

Chris, who was originally a bunt, suddenly retracted the bat and swept it out fiercely.

Ping!

Slash bunt!

It's not just fake bunt, almost synchronous, Sawamura runs from third base to home base.

Fake, hit, and run!

When the game was a stalemate, Seidou's attack was so bold and unexpected.

SNAP!

The baseball fell to the ground and was directly blocked by Akikawa's second baseman.

Sawamura, who had started early, was approaching home plate.

Shunshin's eyes almost popped out.

However, he knew that it was definitely too late to stop Sawamura!

Sawamura is not slow, plus he started early. By the time the second baseman stood up and passed the ball to home plate, it was too late to stop Sawamura from returning to home plate.

"Pass first base!"

Since it was too late, Shunshin did not struggle and immediately ordered.

"SAFE!"

"OUT!"

Sawamura returned to home plate for the third run.

Chris was a few steps short of first base.

Total score: 0:3

Seidou almost sealed the victory.

After that, Shiratsu played a slow fly high, and Seidou's attack in this inning ended here.

"Seidou, Seidou!!!"

"Sawamura, Sawamura!!!"

"Chris, Chris!!!"

In the stands, the fans who supported Seidou began to cheer wildly.

Attacks that are continuous unexpected, and exciting tactical changes.

It is so fun for them to watch.

In the corner of the stadium, Tahara Toshihiko, the Coach of Sankou High School came to the stand.

Behind him, the players from Sankou High School followed.

They have done their warm-up and are waiting to play.

After they came up, they happened to see the wonderful cooperation between Chris and Sawamura.

"As expected of Seidou."

"This is the last straw that broke the camel's back."

"Akikawa is over!"

The players noticed the progress of the game.

Their Ace, however, noticed another thing.

Is the audience's voice too loud?

Did Akikawa's pitcher put so much pressure on Seidou?

So much so that after the score, these supporters of Seidou felt happy.
