Chapter 51: End of the Game!

"Out of the park!"

Looking at the white ball that flew out of the field, everyone in the audience was dumbfounded.

The players of Seidou High School worked hard to attack in the previous eight innings. In the end, it was only to get six Runs from the battery of Osaka Kiryuu High School!

Even with this score, Seidou High School's players all felt pretty good in total.

This is definitely not a humble thing to say, Seidou High School's own players really feel that they have scored a lot.

After all, the opponent is also the National Giant, Osaka Kiryuu High School! And even in their state, they were able to get six points from them.

What else do they still want?

Know that in baseball, unless the game turns into a slugfest from early on, the score will generally not be very high.

Tachi Hiromi, the pitcher of Osaka Kiryuu, was very calm even when he lost points.

And in the process of competing with Seidou High School, he showed great resilience and was very difficult to overcome.

It's not that Seidou High School didn't think about scoring from him or even overtaking him.

However, it was a point-by-point recovery, and the process was definitely full of various difficulties and obstacles.

Just as they were entangled in the completely fierce competition, Furuya slammed it all down and got everything done.

The strange thing is that after Furuya Satoru got everything done, no one in Seidou High School had a smile on their face.

They just stared blankly at Furuya Satoru, as if they were looking at a completely bizarre creature.

In the previous four at bat, Furuya only hit this home run in total. As far as the performance of the batting is concerned, let alone the Yuuki, Ryosuke, and Sawamura. Except for Masuko Toru, everyone else didn't have to perform badly. Of course, this is just a case of effective hits and hitting base.

When it comes to scoring, Furuya Satoru scored three points alone!

This record is also the first in the current match.

Furuya Satoru, with his unexpected performance, told everyone that he was different.

In the rest area, the three supervisors of Seidou High School looked at each other.

"What a genius!"

President Ota stared blankly at Furuya as if he were looking at a bizarre creature. Although Sawamura is the absolute Ace in the team, President Ota is very fortunate that Furuya came to Seidou and did not go to other schools.

Otherwise, the appearance of Furuya in any school would be a huge threat to Seidou.

Kataoka looked at Furuya with delight and conflicted thoughts in his mind.

He is even more reluctant to let Furuya out of the lineup now!

Four at bat, not to mention two that were resolved, one nearly hit a home run, and a three-run home run!

Sure enough, blind cannons also have the advantages of blind cannons. Such an unexpected hit might turn the tide of the battle at some point. And considering the on-base rate of Seidou's players, Satoru's home run is even more valuable.

He wants to keep this person, for not only the summer competition in summer but also when they arrive at Koshien in summer, he must take him there too.

Furuya reserved a place for the First String in advance.

Seidou was baffled by this, not to mention the opponents.

Superintendent Matsumoto looked at Furuya, stars began to appear in his eyes.

"What a Talent!"

'I just knew he was a Fastball pitcher before, but I didn't expect his batting to be so good.'

"If he is cultivated well, he will be the backbone of the Seidou in the future!"

Why did such a good players go to Seidou?

Coach Matsumoto, was very puzzled.

But no matter what he thinks, the game will continue.

Kuramochi hit a flat-fly ball in front of second base and was caught.

Three Outs, offense and defense exchange.

In the first half of the ninth inning, Osaka Kiryuu attacked.

At a time like this, they no longer had the previous tactics of consuming the physical strength of the pitcher.

But an All-out attack!

Get back a point in any way.

Make up for lost prestige.

This game is a practice game, not a formal game.

As long as they can take a point from Sawamura and hold the second half, then Osaka Kiryuu will not lose much morale!

Otherwise, other teams will think they are an easy target.

With a six-point lead, it was even overtaken by the opponent.

This happened to a Famous School like Osaka Kiryuu and they will become a joke.

It's just a pity that Sawamura and Chris, the Senpai and Kohai partners, did not give them a chance to fight back.

In the eighth inning, Sawamura completed the defense with three balls. This is too helpful for his physical energy saving, and in the second half of the eighth inning, Seidou High School's attack continued for a long time. Sawamura's physical strength has recovered a little.

Now that he saved a bit of energy, he can still pitch a dozen balls.

A dozen balls in the eyes of other pitchers may not have any effect. But in Sawamura's hands, it was enough for him to get three Outs.

"STRIKE!"

"STRIKE!!"

"STRIKE BATTER OUT!!!"

"STRIKE BATTER OUT!!!!"

There is no suspense, Sawamura has struck out the second and third batter of Osaka Kiryuu High School.

Then they met the fourth Batter, Tachi Hiromi.

The first ball, a Cutter ball, Tachi Hiromi did not swing.

"STRIKE!"

On the second ball, Sawamura threw a Change-up.

Ping!

"FOUL!"

This ball, Hiromi found the opportunity to swing and hit the ball out of bounds.

"Tachi, come on!"

"Hit it out!!!!"

"It's all on you!"

In the end, the players of Osaka Kiryuu High School did not give up.

They are actively cheering for their own fourth Batters!

Even if it is already the first half of the nine innings, it is already two Outs, and the batter is already being chased by two Strikes.

"They are a good team!"

On the pitcher's mound, Sawamura said sincerely.

In the face of such a desperate situation, it is hard to not give up. Although the overall strength is a little weaker, there are not many players in the team who can do it except Tachi Hiromi.

'But I have to say that the team of Osaka Kiryuu is very effective.'

'They are well trained!'

'If we meet in the future, Osaka Kiryuu will still be a strong opponent of Seidou.'

"But I'm so sorry, it turns out that we're stronger!"

Sawamura's right leg was raised high and then slashed down like a battle axe.

With this unconquerable momentum, the Mitt on his right hand is like a wall, covering in front of his body.

Then he grabbed the ball with his left hand, waved his arm like a whip, and threw it out.

The small white ball, in the process of flight, seems to be like an accelerating rocket.

Passed through Tachi Hiromi's bat swing, and appeared in Chris's Mitt.

SNAP!

"STRIKE BATTER OUT!!!"

"GAME SET!!"

Seidou High School played a practice game against Osaka Kiryuu High School, and the final result was 9:8.

Seidou High School is the Winner.
